A Challenge
Snapped a quick picture of my entire handgun collection today - sorry for the poor quality, hard to get natural light in my house. Anyone care to try their hand at IDing all of them?

A:Nambu Type 14
B: C: Nagant 1895 D: M1935A French E: Browning 1922 F: G: Tokarev TT-33 H: Walther P38 I: Radom 35 J: Luger P08 K: Webley MK I Navy L: 1911A1 M: Browning HP/GP35 N: Mauser C96 O: S&W Victory Model P: Enfield No. 2 Mk1* (DAO) Q: Webley MK IV R: Enfield No. 2 Mk1 S: S&W M1917 T: U: Webley MK VI V: Colt New Service Can't find B, H, or T, though I think T is a S&W or Webley top break of some sort. |
That's a lot of handguns. How do you afford all of these?
|
Well, the army pays pretty well and I've been at it for about 7 years now. Didn't exactly buy them all at once.
Correct, except B (no such thing as a Steyr 1910), J (it is of course a Luger, but its not a P08), K, and S. O isn't technically a Victory (actually a British No.2 Mk.I or Pre-Victory), but many collectors will call it that so I'll take it. M is of course a Hi Power, bonus if you know who made it. |
B looks like a Steyr 1912. And is the Hi-Power made by Inglis? You're in Canada so I figure that's most logical.
|
B is actually a Steyr 1911, but you can't tell the difference except up close so I'll take it. The Hi Power is indeed an Inglis - you can tell by the humped rear sight, made in 1944. The one I'm issued at work is exactly like it, and just as old.

Anyone care to take a crack at the remainders or should I post the answers?
|
Ok, since no one said anything here's your answers.
F: CZ-38 J: Finnish Luger M/23 - you call tell from that barrel, too long to be a P'08 but too short to be a Navy, and it doesn't have the two-position sight. K: Webley & Scott Model 1910 .38ACP S: Smith & Wesson Mk.II Hand Ejector (.455) T: Garate .455 British service revovlr (officially Pistol, Revolver, Garate, Old Pattern, No.1 Mk.I) Any interest in another go around? |
Just got a great deal on this (seller's photo):

Colt 1902, right?
