SUSPEND THREAD? - #894 - 2022 Challenge - Magazine Cover per Day

[Moo Moo]

UPDATE ON PAGE 18 Post #894 - SUSPEND THREAD???


Hi all

2021 saw a number of forum members follow and contribute to "Every day for this entire year I will post a old school printed gun advertisement".

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

AJ has suggested a new 2022 challenge in a similar vein. Instead of a printed Gun Advertisement, this time it will be to post a Gun oriented printed cover of a Magazine, Book, or Catalog per day.

I will try and keep an Excel Spreadsheet with how we get along. Everyone is welcome to contribute.

I'll start with my first three given its 3rd Jan 2022 here in Australia.

Moo Moo,

I'll jump on the bandwagon... will try to contribute regularly, I have lots of stuff salted away.

Moo Moo,

I could not resist. However, I will not post the volume we did before. I think that is what was burning me out on the last go around. That and the trying to keep track of what we had posted.

Today's selection is from American Handgunner. This is my favourite/favorite gun magazine.

A fellow SWCA member just sent me this 1931 P.J. O’Hare catalog because it had a page of A.H. Hardy holsters in it.

Hmmmm.....I don't think that I have any really old gun magazine covers, I usually give them away and I bet that I lost a few in the 2018 fire. However, these two magazines were in my gun safe for obvious protection reasons and since they survived, and this is a firearms forum without too many restrictions, and these are, ARGUABLY, gun magazines, here goes - ENJOY!

Our Navy At War 1st and 2nd Reports 1944 1945

Enlisted personnel chart 1923 1943 2nd report

Enlisted personnel chart 1923 1943 1st report

Back cover 1st Report 1944

Back cover 2nd report 1945

And, for purists who must see guns in a gun Forum..........

A Battleship Bombing Guam

2nd report Navy fighters on sea and in the air guns visible for this Forum:

Now those are guns!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BIG BORE HANDGUNS!!

Hi MooMoo!
Great!.... right off these are some of my favorites under the heading of big bore handguns.
Each cover goes with a great article.
Many will know the Skeeter Skelton 24-3 issue.
But, the best, hands down (in my opinion) is the Howdah pistol article hinted to with the cover of Guns & Ammo May 1965!
I added one page from that article, just to tease y'all!

 

[Gunhacker]

One of the more difficult Roy Jinks books to find...

And some more 10mm magazine issues:

 

[turnerriver]

1950’s Hy Hunter catalog.

 

[H Richard]

Probably the rarest S&W. Wish I knew where it is now.

 

[Moo Moo]

Today's selection. (Someone had to post one of these catalogs. Lol).

 

[AJ]

Guns & Ammo Annual 1972

 

[Gunhacker]

This one is for you Moo Moo, being that American Handgunner is your favorite magazine. Long ago, it used to be "The American Handgunner"

And how about a 1940 S&W Catalog...

Thanks for that.

Yes, despite many buy-backs and more law hoops to jump, there's more guns and shooters in Australia then there ever has been. That article you posted was from the late 1970's. It has gotten a lot more restrictive since then. Australian Gun Laws - Yes, we can own guns

Today's selection is a Winchester Big Game Rifle catalog cover. I could not find a year for it.
