Four of the more recent additions to my antique gun collection.
- Thread starter drm3m
- Start date
The Thompson was deactivated--nothing moved.
This fellow was anxious to get it ---SO- I told him-- find me something interesting to trade.
These were his comments;
These guns come from an old Mexican safety deposit box, and they appear to have decades of crime, dust, and other even dead spiders on them.
There are two civil war pieces. There's an early and I believe very scarce Remington Rider serial number 841 with matching fluted cylinder and good original bluing!
It caught my attention ----and the trade was made.
This is what Flayderman's Guide had to say about this revolver.

This was at a time when my collection was moving more towards Civil War stuff and away from WWII pieces.
I sold many WWII guns.
I wanted the Sharps rifle and he wanted the M1 Garand. PLUS cash.
He had an interesting source for nice antique guns----I did five deals with him---some purchases and two trades.

These are all of the WWII guns that I have sold/ or traded.
Considering the handgun transfer ban I am glad that I sold the five pistols shown above when I did.

This is what remains in my WWII collection.
The Colt and the Luger were both vet bring backs each with its own provenance--which I have.
