Here's a couple of mine take a year or so ago. Some are still mine, and some have been traded or sold. I've also added two or three to the collection.

so far...
I'm 27 years old at the moment, and I've slowly formed my collection over the past four or five years. I've shot since I was twelve, but none of my local family members are into shooting so I had to pursue that interest on my own. When I started owning guns I started with the percussion guns, and a year or two later decided to go for my LTC. My SW1911 was NIB and was my first gun-shop purchase (I don't usually keep the comp-bushing on it, but threw it on there for the photo). The 5906 and Tomcat were passed down to me from a good friend. A close-friend's aging father wanted a good home for the two Remington .22 rifles, and the whole family agreed I should have them. The Jennings J-22 is a gun I never would have bought, but was given to me by a buddy who had convinced a friend of his (someone I do not know), to get rid of it. The Jennings was given to its former owner by a family member, and was only ever used for plinking, but I was told that the former-owner had 'anger issues' and didn't trust himself with it. I've had a blast with it, and I seem to be the only person who can consistently shoot it without problems I use it for recreation only, and I treat it with extra safety-precaution as it is not a quality firearm. The Nambu type 14 was given to me by a soon-to-be-father who didn't want it in his house (wasn't about to argue with that!) it was made in 1943 (same year as my Mosin). The rest I have bought whenever I've had the money and found something i really wanted. The 1858 Remington with the 5" barrel has a conversion cylinder to shoot .45LC, I've never fired it with percussion loads, I've only shot it with the .45LC rounds as I have plenty of other percussion guns to play with. This first photo was taken last March and is my most recent 'group photo'. Since the photo was taken I've bought a Mosin-Nagant 91-30, and after much thought I decided to trade the Wildey .45 win-mag for several hundred dollars and a mint S&W 629-2 .44 magnum 'Mountain Revolver' made in 1989. The 629 is seen in the second photo, and I don't have any good photos of the Mosin yet, but I'm pretty sure you all know what a Mosin-Nagant looks like, if not google is a click away. I don't consider this to be a 'BIG' collection at all, but hope to still own most of these later in life when I do have a collection that warrants a walk-in gun vault I don't mind answering any questions about any particular model seen here if anyone is curious about something.
and the new-to-me S&W 629-2, .44 magnum, 4" barrel (new grips since photo was taken)

I don't have a picture of my "collection" because I don't have a collection. I have an accumulation. 
I also don't have a picture of it, and I'm much to lazy to try to take one. How about the 22 rifles?
And some of the 22 pistols. I've sold/traded a couple of these and replaced them with others.

Not a big collection, I'm just starting out. I gave a guy only $300 for this one, I CCW it daily. It's made in W. Germany, just like Sigs, so I figure it must be just as good!

I keep saying I'm going to take picures of the guns in groups but it would be a lot of work and I'm lazy.
Here's a few pictures but they are out of date by a number of guns now.
S&W.
Makarov, P64, PA-63 and CZ.
Kimber.
Heres a few individual pictures.
Beretta PX4 Storm.
M1.
Rossi .357 Mare's Leg.
Kel Tec PLR.
Ruger MK II.
My Wife's and my 1903 Colts.
Original GI 1911A1 I bought from the government (yes, our government) in 1961 NIB for $17. It has changed a bit in appearance since then.
A CZ RAMI 9mm I recently bought.
