  I'm the Coffinmaker and I'm a Gunoholic

I've fallen.  I've spent the last eleven months in ReHab from COVID.  I've done well enough to treat myself to a reward.  I scored TWO Brandy knew El Malo 2 revolvers.  I am unable to post here, but photos are available on Cimarron's web site. 

Absolutely gorgeous guns, three-n-a Half inch, Octagonal barrels.  The actions are sweet right out of the box.  Other than fixing the dumb two position base pin, no real action work is needed.  I have, however, changed the grips out for Navy Pattern plow handle grip sets.  Really neat guns they are!!

And then we have a completely inane "Label" applied by an ultra right thinking conservative with absolutely no knowledge of an individuals basis for an opinion.

First of all I am middle of the road and second you are one of those Liberal types that thinks they have a right to tell others what they should like and what they should own.  Face it you said something rather stupid and I'm done with this, when I was little my mother told me not to talk with Liberals because they wanted to tell others what they should and shouldn't do and like most times she was right.  Type of guns, type of cars, it's all they same, they just like to try and control others because they they think they are the only ones who are right.

If you can't see what is wrong with your comment on someone just wanting to shoot a fun gun you are a sad person indeed.

Well !  when a carrot is dangled in front of a Gift horse, who am I to say no 
 

These are actually made on COLT Machinery
Colt commercial Model 1911A1 that was manufactured under contract for the country of Brazil. There were approximately 14,500 made in total under this contract in the 1937/38 time frame with very, very few ever seen in the United States. Eventually the country of Brazil adopted the Model 1911A1 as their standard pistol and started producing them at the State/Military run IMBEL factory.

  "Well Indeed" 

Major 2 that be a righteously nice Brazilian 1911.  I have seen and worked on Spanish built "El Tigre" 1892 copies but I have never run into one of those Brazilian 1911s.  I presume you also made the grips for it??  Really nice indeed!!!

Makes it hard to "Stay on the Wagon" don't it!!

No on the grips, that's the way it came.
I assume they are handmade replacements.  .

I'm still reading about these Brazilian Contract 1911's made at IMBEL

 The above Brazilian 1911 in Reply #442
Originally the grips would have been as shown in the photo below (not mine) from the internet.
Also note: the slide serrations are different on this Colt Contract commensal Government Model.
One of 14,500 pre WW2 purchase.

The Brazilian 1911 above is post war late 40's or early 50's IMBEL factory build.
