    ASP, Devel, Scorpion, Trapper values

    Does anyone track actual market transactions for customized Model 39 pistols? I know there aren't that many changing hands, especially publicly, but I'm hoping someone has captured the values of those that have sold on GunPoker or the auction houses.

    An Interesting Model 39

    Captain Peter Mason was a member of the British SAS and after the war he had a license to kill--Nazi war criminals (according to him). It is interesting that the placard implies that the dust shield was special to the CIA. I don't know who manufactured the silencer nor do I know the SN of the...

    A "new" 2 inch Victory

    I believe this to be one of the guns that shipped to Ft. Mason in December 1942 but it is from the "missing" crate. A total of 300 guns were shipped, 100 to a crate, but only 200 numbers were recorded. This one has been refinished, had the stocks replaced and the swivel removed so it isn't in...
