Model guns made in Japan

Hi everyone,
Just thought someone out there might be interested in a fraction of the model guns accumulated here (not sure how much they are worth) they are some of the rarest    And thanks to a buddy in Japan as well as others in the US, France, UK etc ...




There are lots more but I fear I might send the site crashing

Something went dreadfully wrong with uploading the pics ??? Here goes ...

Nice collection   

Here's a couple more for the traditionalists ...




Thanks everyone, it's been great.

Hi Cerwyn,
Thanks for the thumbs up, the pics were taken by my older brother - he's into photography and is a graphics designer - who was also the creator of Robbie Williams' "Rock DJ" video   
He is an avid model gun & airsoft collector, he is well recognised in France where he lives , if we were to post all his collection on this site I am afraid we would cause the site to crash   
Will try to upload other model guns at some point later, cheers.

Hi Cerwyn,
No problem at all with duplicating the pics , my brother would only be too happy   
Yes, he is a member of "France Airsoft" but I will have to ask for his username to be sure we are on the same page   
I have already asked him for more pics of his collection but I am afraid he has too many airsofts which may not be suitable for this Model Gun forum    Oh, he also has a MGC68 MP40 and it's virtually brand new despite its age   He's more of a collector than a re-enactor   
Below is another pic of his all-metal Colt Trooper , the others are all made of ABS with some metal parts. I will see if I can ask him for some pics of something unusual and not the usual run-of-the-mill stuff. I know he is getting a replica (airsoft ?) Borchardt from Japan soon, apparently it comes cased and with a stock etc ...

Is the first S&W with the shrouded hammer an 'AirWeight'? I'd like to see some more pics of that. Is it full metal?

Hi Lampwick,
I believe my friend John Wiffen (aka Replibond) knows you ? Small world   
No, the S&W Bodyguard is made of ABS with some metal parts. It's not a copy of the Airweight, I did have a deact of an Airweight at one time but sold it   
I believe the only guns pictured above that are metal are the Trooper and the MGC Colt Detective Special in double action only - the latter came from the US   
I wrongly stated earlier that the only all-metal model gun was the Trooper, didn't mean to mislead folks

Thanks for clearing that up Broomie. I thought that I was facing a long costly bidding battle to get that from you if it was all metal. John and I go back more years than I care to remember. I spoke to him last week about 'back in the day' and it brought back a lot of good memories.

Hi Lampwick,
Why don't you buy a deactivated Airweight , I think they are still around    I have a deact (not Airweight but a Bodyguard in brushed stainless) which comes with its Pachmayr grips as well as a set of real ivory grips but it's not suitable to have its pics posted here, nor is it for sale - sorry  
Broomie

Hi Cerwyn,
Thanks a bunch for clarifying. I have already asked my brother and am awaiting for more pics from him   
If they are airsofts I will post the pics under a different category   As for the MGC68 MP40 I will continue this thread as soon as the pics come through   
I can only promise there will be a lot, lot   Just be prepared ...
Broomie

Hi everyone,
Sorry about the delay in posting new pics, the next lot will be in approx 10 days when my brother gets back from Canada with his other half  - they are on holiday at the moment  
There will be some pics of a MGC MP40 with serial number from his collection. I will also start a new thread on pics of his airsoft collection and electric guns (not too many of the latter I hope - these are mainly full autos assault rifles & SMGs I think)   
Maybe it's better to post one big pic of his gunroom otherwise it would take forever   
Broomie

Hi Cerwyn,
Well, I guess you could say my brother likes his toys , and thankfully his wife tolerates his hobby   
I have just posted some pics in the GBB airsoft category , some are duplicates of his model guns but they are airsofts. The pics are saved on his laptop, I can only surmise they are his favourites   
He has promised to take detail photos of his MGC68 MP40 when he gets home   
Cheers and thanks for looking,
Broomie

These 2 are all metal MGC model guns - the Colt Detective Special is in double action only    Bothe came from the USA.

I will post some of the other vintage MGC guns I have, however I think they are nothing unusual other than that they were made a long time ago and were bought from Jenny's in the Gunmart about 10 years ago ? These are the S&W Mod 19 in 4" and the snubnose version, a S&W Chief Special and a Colt Python in 4" with the usual broken hammer spur    Where can I get a replacement hammer anyone
