military guns

Just sold my 1918 Colt 1911 for a lot. But still have a p-38 somewhere in all this mess. Do have a Russian Makarov and although it's not a handgun as such a Carl Gustaf model 1940(Swedish K) 9mm subgun. Also have an AK that was brought back from Vietnam(Bulgarian). And have a nice little Smith and Wesson Victory model that was modified to 4" bbl by Cogswell & Harrison ltd in London..or so it is marked. I have fitted a 38 spec cylinder to it as well as the original 38 S&W cylinder. Not real accurate in my opinion but my wife was using it as a snake load gun. Gonna take it to the next gun show I go to and sell it. Also have a 1938 Navy contract 45 auto and a WWII 1911A1. Traded a friend a Ruger 357 for it. Had to replace the bbl in it but it shoots ok now. I also have a Nazi marked mauser 32 and I am trying to talk my cousin out of a Nazi marked Walther PP 32. Oh and I also have a Colt 1901 Army 38 colt that was given to me by the man it was issued to. He bought it after they replaced the 38 Colt with a 45 auto as he told me. He retired as a Lt Colonel in 1947 from the home guard or something. Dated his granddaughter(she was seriously crazy but that is another story) and he gave it to me about 6 months before his death. Also have a Colt 25 auto that was supposedly acquired from the military but not real sure that it was.
