Has any body seen Miss Dufis B. Underfoot?

When the Enfield was measured (just now) it is 4 and 31/32nds (inches) or 125 mm.

and mike the Astra takes the 9mm largo being 4 mm longer than the Luger cartridge: you can load it using 9 x 23 brass.

The avatar pistol is a fancy engraved .32 rim-fire, a ranger no.2 if I remember correctly.
I collect old "Saturday night special" pistols. I shall , in the near future, post pics of them...

I love my little guns!

Ps022, 023: The Family. Top is a Navy-marked .455-calibre Webley Mark VI from 1916. Middle is a brand-new factory-reconditioned, unfired War Finish Mark IV built for the Second War and Bottom is their illegitimate son, the Enfield Pistol Number 2, Mark 1 in an early (1933) edition. You can see the relationship easily.

Ps027: J.P. Sauer & Sohne Model of 1913 7.65mm with original German-issue holster and spare magazine from the Great War. Holster is nicely named, too.
 
My Gawd! This thread just keeps getting better...thank you so much for taking the time to post these.

When you're done posting for Smellie, get started posting those 'Saturday night Specials'. Handguns make me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Damn it, I knew I was doing this all wrong. I've got to post all my own pics. Smellie has range eye candy and she posts his pics for him! A young fella could learn a lot from such a man... ;)

I don't think she does, but there is a little Otto, Fritz, Heinrich and Wilhelm running around with Dufis.:)

And then there is my Labrador Retriever, MAX-------------he is SMELLIE's buddy and he likes Cats. In fact, his favorite question concerns the nutritional value of a Cat.

Oh, Oh! I had Max at SMELLIE's shortly before Dufis went missing. Do you think ................................................?

Ps028: Heavy firepower from both sides! The 1913 Sauer 7.65mm with its opponent, the tiny Belgian FM 1906, this one with a factory lanyard-stud!

Ps029, 030: Top is an FN Model 1910 Browning 7.65mm pistol which is an exact twin to the one used by Gavrilo Prinzip to start the Great War on June 28, 1914 Below is a tiny 1906 6.35mm, generally termed a “Baby” although the real Baby came along a few years later. The second photo shows the Baby’s military heritage: it has a factory lanyard-stud! Baby is an unwanted refugee from the Wolverine sale.

Ps031, 032: Top is a Colt’s Frontier Six-Shooter with the designation double-stamped. It’s a .44-40, of course. Middle is another Colt, this a .41LC. Even though it didn’t belong to Billy the Kid, it still goes nicely with an original short 10-gauge hammer double. Bottom is a well-used Webley Mark IV .38 built during the Second World War and marked “War Finish”….. just to spite the Government. It shoots very nicely despite the obvious modifications to the front sight and the trigger.

Ps034: Top is a Canadian-marked .380 Smith & Wesson “Pre-Victory” model. The factory referred to this model during manufacture as the “10/200” because it was basically a Model 10 but the special barrel was suited to the 200-grain bullet of the original British loading which was developed from the Webley “Manstopper” but without the cup-point. The Army changed to the 178-grain FMJ bullet but it seems to have made little difference to the guns; this one still groups nicely even with 158s. The lower gun is a factory-rebuilt Webley Mark IV all dressed-up to go to a party, shiny commercial finish and all. How does it shoot? We don’t know; it still has factory grease in the chambers!
 
Wonderful collection twosteam. Would love to see some close up pics and details about the FN Browning 1910 and especially the 1906. Thanks for posting.
