I had these out of the safe this evening to take some photos for another purpose and thought I might share them here. I hope no one feels that I am bragging, just thinking some may enjoy seeing them.

Colt New Service made in the early 20s.

Colt Army Special made in the early 20s. The Army never used these as such, it was a marketing name only. This evolved into the Official Police and during WW2, the Commando issued in .38 special.

Colt Officers Model heavy barrel target revolver from the mid 30s in .38 special. The grips are period aftermarket target-type.

Colt MkIV Series 80 Government Model .45 My two sons are slugging it out to see who gets it when I tire of it. The winner is going to have a long wait!

S&W 686 .38/.357; this was a retirement gift (along with 1,000 rds of .38 rounds)from a previos employer after 22 years of duty with them. Much better than a watch!

Oh joy!!!! I had the MkVI Webley in .455 and loved shooting it along with a S&W Model 14 in 38 Special, a Hammerli 280 in .32 S&W Long, a .22 Walter GSP, a 9mm Walter P38, a Ruger GP100 in .375Magnum. Would I have pistols back? You bet your sweet bippy I would in a flash.
Enjoy those little beauties my friend!

Nice and nostalgic, I own or have owned every one of those models, except for the new army, at one time or another in my life.
