Your Obscure Pistols (Pics)

[andrewdl007]

So, I found a gun that belonged to my gradfather, but I had never heard of the make or model of the gun before I got it. It was mass produced in France in the 30s and 40s but very little is known about them. From my research, the serial numbers are meaningless. Any way, I thought it would be fun to show my obscure pistol and others show theirs as well.

MAB's aren't obscure, well not if you look hard enough.

This is an H&R .32 ACP:



And a Dyse 1908, althought they are pretty common.

 

[Mad Magyar]

And the answer to what are those grips of Mad Magyar's HSC made of is:
Hamburger Buns with Toasted Sesame Seeds!

I like that......

 

[Ash]

Here's mine. British Revolver, Old Patern, #1 Mk 1 made by Garate Anitua and chambered for 455 Webley. The butt is designed so that the revolver can be used as a cudgel if you run out of ammo but not out of Huns.

Mad Magyar, that's a Mauser, isn't it.

The ergonomics look a little "pessimal" to me.

 

[Ash]

The Mauser HSc is a far better pocket pistol than the Walther. But what exactly is that grip material?

[Cosmoline]

Are thos lizard skin grips on that Mauser?

 

[Moonclip]

I don't seee MAB's all that often. The H&R and the Dreyse I saw at a local auction last week. I have seen more Dreyse pistols though. I knew of one used in an attempted murder inb a local case!

Those grips look like ostrich. I didn't really like my HSC .380acp so I sold it. I like the way they look though.

 

[Funderb]

those mabs are based on the browning design right? like the FN 1922?

 

[Don Lu]

one of the most obscure Ive seen........

 

[Ford]

I know this is a handgun thread but it made me think of a long gun I have.
It doesnt have any markings on it I can find and I have no clue what it is.
I would aprecciate it If anyone can tell me anything. I have more pics of it If anyone thinks they might know.

 

[DrLaw]

The answer is

Ortgies .32

 

[DrLaw]

What I meant before was...

And the answer to what are those grips of Mad Magyar's HSC made of is:
Hamburger Buns with Toasted Sesame Seeds!

Here is what is it supposed to look like without the bread!


The Doc is out now.

 

[DrLaw]

One more obscure one

Japanese Type 26 9mm rimmed revolver.

Here is an old belgian pocket revolver .320 caliber and made somewhere in the late 1800's as best I can figure.

Here is a little Spanish made .22 single shot pistol. I don't know much about this one at all except it is old and does still shoot.

How about a Sterling PPL in 380ACP?

 

[stownsend]

Here are a couple obscure old pistols I have...The first fires a pinfire round, but that's about all I know...

 

[Deanimator]

Japanese Type 26 9mm rimmed revolver.

I remember back in the '70s when a bunch of those came in. Ammunition for them was one of the very first items that Midway sold. I almost bought one.

 

[SKKY9mm]

Patent Sederl

Heres an old one given to my father.

 

[Rorke's Drift]

My father gave me this. A Whitney Wolverine. We used to call it the space gun. Not totally rare, I'm told, but definitely among the obscure in my collection!

 

[Snow Dog]

Not exactly obscure but it's the rarest one I own - C96 Broomhandle



A couple I used to own but have since moved along - Sharps 4 barrel pepperbox:



M1879 Reichsrevolver:

 

[bigbadbowtie]

Very nice collections guys!!

 

[herohog]

AMT AutoMag III in 9mm Winchester Magnum (9x29)

 

[Snowdog]

I guess it could have been the Chinese I had a few hours ago, but I felt the urge to vomit after seeing that Sterling PPL. That's one odd duck I don't think I've seen before.
