It's been a while, been spending most of my available gun funds on ammo, components, etc. Other home projects, too. But last week I just threw out a couple of bids on Fun Broker, and won both! One was for a second model S&W .38 break top (I'll blame Books O'Tool for reminding me I wanted one) And the other a Mauser 1871/84 rifle. I could blame that one on Whiskey Double for having one at the Muster, but really I remember reading a gun magazine write up on them many years ago, back when OWS was selling them. Always wanted one, but never managed to make it happen. They're still not here yet, though. The Smith looks to have been re-finished, not really a collector. But it's shiny! Almost a bar Bar-B-Q pistol, nickle plated with a gold hammer and trigger guard. Mauser is a bit rougher, and includes a re-worked Chasspot bayonet. Germans did that with captures from the Franco-Prussian war, but seller says he did this one himself.
