Sorry, no pics. Best I can do now is give the list:
"Irish Contract" No.4 Mk. 2 unfired
K98 .22 Israeli trainer (thanks Tinman204)
K98 DOT 43 all matching, V.G. condition
Indonesian No.1 Mk. 3 w/mag cut-off Exc. condition 1959 (these rifles were made from existing No.1's)
Norwegian K98 30-06 V.G. condition
1941 No.4 Mk.1 Longbranch w/hinged frt band, rnd cocking knob, receiver inletted for possible mag cut-off install (never happened)
P.O.F. No.4 Mk.1 (thanks mkrnel)
SAT barrel M91 (1 of 4 known in North America) purchased in 1991 from Century Arms
M28/30 with some characteristics of an M28 and some of an M28/30, Civil Guard serial number as well as another serial number, odd duck
1897 Navy marked LE 1 .22 trainer (thanks Dave Klein)
Ishapore No.1 .410, original chamber, single shot (made up from a British rifle in 1941)
Savage No.4 US Property flaming bomb proof, with original serial and one indicating Allahabad Military Depot (India) issue
M96 Swede no serial number, all small parts marked with "+" (thanks Buffdog)
M96 Swede, Oberndorf with no provision for stock disc, part of 5000 order in 1900 for civil guard (?), 1 of 2 or 3 known to exist serial number 1216 (thanks Buffdog)
1935 Brazil all matching, including bayonet
1908 Brazil, all matching, bayonet, scabbard, target
Plus one mystery rifle - don't recall what is was.
These rifles attracted a lot of attention. Several times, I noticed people returning to have another good look. I had recipe cards at each rifle giving a little blurb. It was interesting to watch people read the SAT rifle card. I had added that one changed hands in the US recently for $12,500. That got their attention!
I answered a lot of questions, and met some interesting people. One fellow noticed the P.O.F. rifle. His eyes lit up and he headed off to find his buddy. They came back for a good look. I asked if Pakistan was their home country. It was, and the one fellow's father had served in the Pakistan army and would have carried a rifle just like the one on the table. He took some pictures of the rifle and intended to show his 90 year old father.
