I've never shot or seen a 4506 in person, but the Sig 220 and Browning are great, proven pistols. Is that a West German model?

Are these your pistols?
 
Without seeing the serial number, your Hi-Power looks like a Chinese contract version. Does it have it slot in the grip? You can sometimes find the stock that will fit at auction in Ontario, and the stock doubles as a holster IIRC.

It was manufactured in Toronto by John Inglis, during WWII (amazing what you can do in a washing machine factory when you put your mind to it.)

It has also has a hole for the lanyard, which also identifies it as a military style Hi-Power.

One of the finest firearms ever developed and still in use worldwide.
 
The browning has the slot & is made in Canada.

Your Sig looks like a West German/German model, it has the folded steel slide (the American made versions have a milled SS slide). The West German/German made models are more fo desirable for having a better fit and finish, and some argue reliability.
 
Ya the S&W is awesome bucked so hard it that the rear sight broke from recoil shock. Hit my buddy in the head as he was shooting.

Not sure if I wanna put up on the EE but I know I've never seen a Sig 220 or 4506 on the EE. Wasn't sure what they were worth.

Any ideas. PM me if u want.

They are somewhat common actually, Calgary Shooting Centre have a few 9mm (used Swiss Police Pistols) models for $600. A new German made Sig P220 goes for $850-$900, there is one on EE.

Do the mags have 'JI' inscribed on them? If so they are Inglis manuf. magazines. A nice bonus. Also is the barrel original? Should have matching serial numbers and crossed flags iirc.

FYI. Inglis only got into the washing machine business after ww2. Good business sense on their part.

Sorry should've clarified I have seen the P220 on the EE but never the P220 in .45ACP
maybe I've just missed it wasn't really looking either though.
Thanks
