Handguns

Gil,
most of what I have I acquired when I had my gun shop. Where I was, military didn't sell real well so I only kept (mostly) the handguns. The Swedish was issued to me..many many centuries, it seems, ago. I also have an 03A3 barreled action that was given to me by a now deseased friend. He acquired it during WWII when in the south pacific. Being a marine fighter pilot he got it from a mud marine(that's what he called the guy any way). From what I understand about the pilots in the South Pacific..when not in the air...they lived in the mud also. It is dated 5-43 and seems to be unfired..or pretty much so. Sniper configuration too with milled trigger guard etc. Don't know that much about military stuff either, except I wish I had bought all the things I saw advertised in Klien's Sporting Goods ads in Field and Stream from the mid 50's to the early 60's. I'd be rich!! er
