What do you have that no one else does?


It might be worth a little more now...

The "rarest" gun I own isn't really rare, but most people under age 40 have never seen one or heard of one.
High Standard double-action-only derringer. Mines' the .22 magnum model, DM-101.
It was a great pocket pistol, and made a lot of sense until the KelTec P3AT came out, which is equally small, but even lighter, and held more than 3X as many rounds. Much more powerful rounds, too.

This is just a random pic borrowed from the internet. My gun used to look just like this, but now has a quite a few scratches after years of carry, all through the 1990s and up to about 2004 when I retired it in favor of a Kel-Tec P32.
 
Why would anybody want their gun to look like it was recovered in the ashes following a house fire and put back in service with the only repair being a new set of stocks?
That thing is sexy. You are just in denial. Pics came up a while back of a 1911 used in a suicide and sold at police auction. It is the prettiest 1911 I have ever seen. It looks like it came straight out of Hell. I tracked the dude down and offered to buy if he ever sold it.
