    I have 2 guns that are at the top of the list. The1st is a Nickel Plated Colt Python with a 6" barrel. I've had it since 1973, carried it on duty for El Paso PD. The 2nd is a stainless S&W 500 Magnum with 6.5" barrel, it's new and hasn't been fired yet. I loaded the ammo for the S&W, it runs from 300gr to 700gr. see attached files.

    A C96 Mauser my father picked up (as the senior enlisted man, he had first pick among everything the Japanese surrendered) in China with the 1st Marine Division after WWII. He was on Okinawa getting ready to invade Japan; due the the Japanese surrender, they were sent to China instead.

    I knew I was a bit short of something. Damn, I don't have a safe or anyplace to really put one if I did. I have a main room with cameras and security. I cannot afford a safe to put my Royal Family in. Lots of racks and drawer cabinets for my toys. As for a King, there is also the Queen, Prince, Princess and all manner of Dukes and Duchesses. I'd be glad to show 'em if someone mentioned a particular piece.... within reason. I been at this for awhile and makes the missus a little concerned. Took most of my life and pretty near all of my money, but I love what I have collected. so ask away.

    Interesting specimen. Can you show a clearer picture of the stamping inside the crane?

    It’s a nickeled N frame but the lack of adjustable sights is throwing me.

    It's been plated, either nickel or chrome. Look at the sideplate and you can see where they polished it incorrectly and rounded the edges. Also several more rounded ones are visible but the sideplate is the most obvious.
