Every day for this entire year I will post a old school printed gun advertisement.

This has been one of the most enjoyable threads for me for 2021...nice work gentlemen and thank you.

I will add my accolades to this thread. It has been most enjoyable and I commend the dedication and commitment to those making it possible.

Happy New Year!

I have greatly enjoyed this thread, really appreciate all the efforts put in to keep it going. Lots of great old ads and articles to keep my nostalgia in high gear. Hoping everyone has a great New Year!

This will be the start of my "Grand Finally" blow out for 2021.
Everything I post today came out of 1964 American Rifleman magazines.
Hope you enjoy this blast from the past from 58 years ago.

Guessing that someone on here might just own this fine pair of revolvers?
Would love to see an updated photo if you have them.

If you want to start posting covers not advertisements as the thread states, I can play that game too. I have a couple of thousand agazines and annuals to use for that.

My last postings of this year. Getting burnt out with all the researching for ads, copying them and posting. Moo Moo is the man on this thread. He has been posting regularly since about 1/20/21.

Even though it was not an advertisement, it seems like the right place to add that cover page in.

Here are a few more for your viewing pleasure.

Thank you

I appreciate the time it took to post all of these everyday. Enjoyed it very much.

Here is another batch.
I sure like the ones that include the prices.

A special Happy New Year to AJ and MooMoo,

My apologies for having fallen by the wayside this past week or so. It's been a lot of fun.
I've got a few more international ads.
Seeing the S&W model 41 ad recently posted, I had to post a Hämmerli ad of the pistol that S&W ripped off, er, I mean borrowed! (Seriously, Karl Walther should get special recognition as the most ripped-off gun designer of the post-WWII era!)

Glad I could get this in under the wire!!

PS: I can only imagine the story of how Arthur ES Andrews Ltd was able to purchase and import Soviet made target rifles and pistols, during the height of the Cold War....

2022 - A Gun Mag Cover a day Challenge

If you want to start posting covers not advertisements as the thread states, I can play that game too. I have a couple of thousand agazines and annuals to use for that.

AJ - I think that sounds like a great idea. You should start it off; "2022 - A Gun Magazine Cover per day Challenge". At least we know you will see it though as the OP.

Hope you and the wife are getting better too.

No desires to do any such thing.. Yes, I would follow through if I was so inclined.

I think we are getting better, only time will tell.

 

[ajgunner]

Sill almost 3 hours left here on the West coast.

 

[ajgunner]

Down to the final hour. Better get these last few in before I fall asleep in the chair.

Happy New Year to all.

Last one for me, but this one from 1964 includes an important reminder for all of us.

Be safe out there!

Only two days to go. Here is my second last days contribution. I've run out of most vintage ads I can find. These few are from the 1990's to 2000's.

This…..is amazing. I can't believe they went there.

Thanks for all your hard work, guys. We all appreciate it.

 

[Heinz]

Thanks for the great year in illustrations! That was a lot of work and I appreciated it
Happy New Year

 

[S&W Fan]

I'll add my thanks for this very enjoyable thread, Happy New Year!

 

[Moo Moo]

Well I've started a new thread for the AJ suggested 2022 Challenge - A Printed Cover of a Gun Magazine, Book, or Catalog (actually spelt Catalogue here in Australia).

http://smith-wessonforum.com/firear...book-catalog-cover-per-day.html#post141349905

I invite you over to check it out. I hope you all are interested in reading, posting and/or contributing to the thread.

Thanks
