Waiting on 2 new to me classics to arrive:

A VZ 24 with awesome rampant Lion Crest (been looking for one at a decent price for a while.

And a Webley Mk VI in .455 unshaved!

About $100 too high like most of their stuff.

Without a doubt, the VZ 24 Rampant Lion has to be the most awesome crest on any of the Mauser rifles!

My CMP number is in the 18,000’s so I’ll probably never get one of those 1911s. Bummer.

I went ahead and picked up an all original Colt built in 1944 from a private collector. No arsenal marks so it my have never been refurbished and she looks great. The man said his dad was a 1st LT and brought it back from the South Pacific but there are no papers to back that up. Again...bummer.

She functions nicely and seems very accurate and has a snug lockup. That tiny USGI front sight is hard to see against the bullseye but I did ok. I love it.
