Your most "rare" gun???

[rimfired]

The operative being somewhat subjective allow me to submit my Daisy 104, double barrel bb gun. It was my fathers from the 30's, we played with it in the sixties and I sent it back to Daisy in the 80's for a refresh. They (Daisy)no longer work on them. It's worth more than any one of my current (modest) collection of S&W's.

Yours?

Colt New Service original .357 mag. Pre-war.

Probably a Bayard Model 1908 in 9mm Kurtz.

 

[Joni_Lynn]

It would be this left handed 1911, the company said it's one of 52 made.

or maybe this Colt Shooting Master made in 1928. 38 Special.

It's a tossup. Either my 6.5" 29-1 in the clam shell case, or the 4" nickel 20-2 made for the Austin PD. I lucked into both, and feel very fortunate to own them. If anything ever happens to me, look for them in the Kull auction along with a few others. Momma knows how to get rid of them if she ever needs to.

That would be my Savage 101 single shot .22 pistol.

 

[oldman45]

Most likely it would be my S&W model 25 with a five inch barrel. Had it since the late 80s and never fired it.

Rare

Newly purchased model 520 from Cajunlawyer.

My Factory Engraved Colt Model 1877 (Lightning) picked up personally at the Colt Factory by Caldwell Hart Colt, Son of Samuel & Elizabeth Colt on Oct. 19, 1880---( Per Colt Archival Letter )

I have a completely original Springfield Armory Mod 1911 45 made in 1914. It's in very nice condition.

Don't have any really rare ones, or even scarce ones but this circa 1928 Winchester Model 54 carbine in .30 WCF (.30-30) is pretty uncommonly encountered. The carbine version isn't too often seen and the .30-30 chambering was not popular within the Model 54 line, making the combination not often seen. Purchased from the original owner who took two deer side by side with it in Mexico in late 1928.

Forgot about this one that I picked up a few months ago. It likely is downright rare. A Helfricht Model 3 .25 ACP. The company was in operation in Germany from 1920 to 1929, making two different models of vest pocket .25s in small quantities. It wins the prize as the ugliest pocket automatic in my opinion.

Sure do like Joni Lynn's Colt Shooting Master .38!

My most rare

I don't know for sure, but I would think mine is relatively rare.
Colt Official Police marked to U.S. Customs and numbered from that agency # 429.

 

[Joni_Lynn]

Thanks, I traded a couple nice Sako rifles for that awhile back.

Well I really don't have anything rare, so I'll post a pic of the rare piece my buddy has that I'd love to put in my safe someday. It's a S&W Model 3 First American, three-digit serial number, numbers in the 400's. It's got the wrong front sight blade on it, but everything else is all original. He took it on trade for a plastic fantastic 9mm or whatever, giving the guy that traded it $350 he wanted to get out of it. It sat in the safe for about three years until he pulled it out to see what it actually was since he really hadn't looked it up at the time of the trade, he had just figured the old nickled Smith was worth at least the $350 in trade he had given. What a nice surprise to find out that it was worth somewhere over $10,000 or more....... Shoo

Would have to be this double barreled .50 cal pinfire. Made in the 1840s or so, and doesnt even have the manufactors name on it.

 

[feralmerril]

I also have this sawed off relic S&W american.

 

[rimfired]

And you need help with what Joni? A "couple Sako's" sweet!

Thanks, I traded a couple nice Sako rifles for that awhile back.

 

[Joni_Lynn]

Yes both were in 270, one was a 'Classic' and the other a Deluxe. I won't miss either of them. I still have other Sako's and other rifles in 270 Win. (older Sako with the FN action in 270)

 

[rimfired]

Sure, but do you have a four digit .244 cal marked L57?
