Thank you, Mr. Field
Nice picture. Looks like yours, too.
The Astras were somewhat ugly, now you mention it. They had the redeeming virtue of working pretty well. (Varied some gun to gun, the makers in that part of the world didn't 'get' metallurgy as well as some others.)
I find the older guns fascinating in terms of history. And I think the Falcon looks 'cool'. As long as I'm dreaming, I also have a 300 and a 3000 (I think it came in 7.65 as well) on the 'seek and buy' list.
And a Ruby. What would a .32 ACP collection be without a Ruby?
You live in the same state as Mordor, Mr. Field? That would be Washington, D. C.?
