Holy cow! That Colt 1917! Early AM extra: Anyone else get the idea that the original collector liked Walther PP/PPKs? And I thought I had a lot of J-frames!
On a side note, the OP was able to discern the mfg date of most of the German WWII pistols. Unbelievable to me how many were made late '44/early '45, a time when the Allied armies had Germany surrounded and on it's last legs...

The immaculate 1920 Mauser C-96 with a perfect holster/shoulder stock nearly killed me. I don't know enough to appreciate most of what he was waving around.

Quite a collection. Had to laugh how the comments section blew up because we didn't see each gun cleared on camera. I guess the concepts of "off camera" and "video editing" are beyond a lot of people.

Wish he had slowed down some. Don't know what the rush was.
That is one heck of a collection. Thanks for posting that.
So, he (his company) will be appraising these guns, etc., and do these guys get to clean and test fire all the guns? Or do they leave the test firing up to the buyer? Either way, that would be a fun job getting all that history running through one's hands. I haven't the time to finish the video until later this afternoon, but that is impressive.
Thanks for sharing!

Did they not clear any of those before handling them???

See post#4.
That's definitely a drool worthy video for me. Tom at Legacy always comes up with the greatest stuff, and that collector really knew his stuff! I also find it funny that he says he has a bunch of folks that want the plum colored PPK. I think most S&W collectors think it is a bad thing. I remember watching that video when it first came out and seeing many of those guns on his website for sale. No telling what the entire collection brought for the family.

I have to chuckle at the commenters who want to see the guns cleared on camera! Are they really worried about getting shot??? LOL

This collection is insane! I really wish the owner was around to give us some details! I would immediately decide to not sell based on this gentleman's reaction. I hope this gentleman gets what he deserves
No Smith revolvers…. no dice
Awesome video of an outstanding collection! Thanks for sharing this!
I cracked up when the guy pulls out a 1911A1 and goes "no one will be intersted in this!" And it's a Union Switch & Signal! OMG!

Take a look closely at the two Colt SAA's he picks up at 20:58 in the video. You can clearly see case rims in the cylinder gap of the SAA in his right hand. The one in his left hand does not have them. You can see the case rims again at the gap next to the loading gate as he turns the one over to point out the cartouche being worn off on the right stock panel at 21:05-08. There is another quick view a little after that where you can see the two SAA's on the table, and one of them has bullet heads showing in the chamber holes. I can't find it again to give a time stamp.
Probably dummy rounds????
I want that Broomhandle.

Get in line!
Glad I'm the only guy who wants the 1917 Colt Revolver. AND the one .25ACP mostly hidden in its box.
