I'll start this month off

Un-Refurbished, Unfired Tula SKS of 1951 vintage. I don't want anyone sh!tting a chicken, so prepare yourselves and I'll tell you how much I paid.




Are you ready. I paid $155.

A local shop has them for $180. They had a $25 off sale for the month of June, so on the way to the cottage on Saturday I picked it up. I didn't get it home till July, so I'll call that a July purchase.

Canadian steel...

Can't have July's purchases be dominated by Communist arms for too long, ;) so here's my newest, which ends a long-ish search to find one in my price range. Inglis No. 2 Mk 1*.



 
Latest added to collection German Star Model B .08

A later version of this was also used in the South African army until the 80's then the Z88/Beretta 92 then the Vector

Model B (.08) for German Army Service During the Second World War, Germany issued a number of small arms not internally developed in order to fill gaps in production. An especially large variety of pistols were issued, and among these were a relatively small number of "B .08" pistols. These were issued to German Police and "certain military units." In general, lower-priority organizations such as the police could not get first line German-made weapons during the war, so external contracts such as this are not unusual. These were made for only from 1942 to '44 and are substantially Second Model B pistols. The only changes of which I am aware are to markings. Reportedly, Stars issued to WWII German troops do not carry Nazi proofmarks, the only foreign arms exempted from this requirement. But, I have encountered some owners with overtly German proofed weapons, so this may be untrue, or inconsistently applied. All these pistols should have the last 3 digits of the serial number on all major component. Note that marks along the lines of "P'08" on the chamber hood or "F. Patr. 08" are just ways to denote 9 mm Parabellum, and do not mean it was necessarily German issue. For extra confirmation, check the date of proofing. they will most likely display date codes N, Ñ or O. Positive identification of these pistols, to me, still seems difficult.

The P and X marks are proof house.
