What could that crown over letters be on the grip? I couldnt find that symbol anywhere on the internet.
Additionally, what would the R.Jackson mean under the barrel? I see there was a gun dealer in london around that time that was called "R. Jackson". I see it listed on some auction piece...
Greetings all - I had a thread about 6 years ago in this section where i was trying to identify a 1851 Navy for my friend who found it among his father's personal effects when he died in 1989. I tried to bump the old thread but it is too old. I figured with the new members in the last 6 years, a...
Model 10 4" Round Butt, .38 Special, S&W catalog grips. The grips started life smooth, but my agency required checkered grips, so i took a round file and a hammer to them over 20 years ago.

My friend found this old Colt among his fathers belongings after he died a few years back. He said he has had it since sometime in the '60s. Can anyone tell me what it is and maybe a general idea what it would sell for?
Kahr P380 great gun
I had a few problems with my right out of the box P380 the first day I got it. I must say that it was a very discouraging experience. Right from the first round, i experienced jams with numerous failure to feed instances. At first, the magazines would not feed with more than...
