I agree with you, Pete. They're enough to make a gun-lover drool. They're real guns with real Old World craftsmanship, to my eye faultless, deserving of being taken afield anywhere.

Like certain wonderful aircraft, women, motor vehicles, boats, outboards, tools, etc they just don't register with me. My guns are all pretty plain except for my Francotte, LC Specialty and Sauer.

Thanks for that post, Ithaca5e. I learn something every day.
