A new one in Pit's collection.

Now safe and sound in the collection.
I had searched for one of these for quite a few years (decades) finding it felt a little Indiana Jones, lol.



I am very pleased and have been examining it carefully for the last few days.

Bought some original paper packed ammo, and looking for an original holster, now.

Whoa! is that the automatic webley? very nice what a find must be pretty damn rare and a strange gun to fire i would think

Claymore - I have bought some Hornady Mk-ii which is VERY low power, should I ever decide to shoot it.
I have also been scrounging all the period .455 I can find, it used to come seven rounds to a paper wrap, with string binding.

I now have two contradictions in my collection, an automatic revolver:(see above)

And, a bolt action semi-auto - G41(m):



(The original 1941 sling on the rifle was attached to the MGC MP40 I bought on this site last month.)

I think i would find it very difficult not to shoot this gun its such a different mechanism i would have to fire it just to see what it felt like. what a nice find mate.

Nice catch!
Quite an oddity this one, which makes it even more interesting :-)
Gotta love those groves on the cylinder, unique!

I contacted this guy through facebook (I couldn;t be bothered joining the site, lol) - no answer - but I want one of these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone else does join the site, please let me know, I'll Paypal the guy to get me one of those, then I can use this in a movie without worrying about wrecking a $10K firearm, not an option - I was going to buy a .455 Mk6 as it's stunt double, lol.

Hi!
It's one of my favorite british revolver! In France you can hown it without deactivation (but without ammos).
I'm green wih envy!!!!
How lucky you are!!!

In California, when we buy a handgun we have to wait 10 days before picking it up.

I won this one on an online auction site.
I get to collect it this weekend.

But here are a few things that it came with:
Matching 1940 waffen marked holster.
Wood tipped magazines, within 2000 range serial of firearm.
A couple of boxes of 1940's 9mm.
But, the part I most enjoy -
The GI capture papers from germany 1945, listing the handgun (it's serial), a bayonet and camera, and the GI's personal information.
These papers were needed to bring the firearm home to the US, and serve as a document to substantiate the firearms provenance.

Fun, stuff no?

Lovely.... all those details add so much they are perhaps even better find than the main item :-)
The fragile paper which survived all those years in a very god shape (it's not even yellow) is especially worth attention!

It is very yellow, in person, and extremely fragile, it is kept in a flattened plastic container.
(This is a particular bad photo.)

I have wanted one for a while.

Pit.

edit - sorry.
