Oddities amongst us

[Drydock]

Curse you, Zooty ones, for giving me another excuse to bring home oddities, orphans, and other unwanteds. (IE, cheap!)  Had one of these follow me home for the holidays:

Mine is the longer, heavier Troop version.

What lurks in the back of your sock drawer?

That looks like a good companion for your Berthier for an Expansion Era match.

Awesome, Star and Astra made some very interesting automatics, I really like the lines of yours.  I greatly enjoy an Astra 600 and someday I want an Astra 900 as a companion for my SCW surcharged M91 Mosin rifle.

Its an interesting piece.  Its designed to be carried by a cavalryman or officer in the LEFT hand.  The controls are all oriented for the left hand, leaving the right free for sabre or lance. It even ejects to the left.  A truly sinister handgun . . .

Picked up one of these off GunBroker.  Mine is the 2nd Varient, 32 acp, approx 1916, with WW1 German occupation markings.  Got a good deal from a pawn shop that really did not know what it was!  Snappy little shooter.

  Boot Pistol!

That is a fine little handgun.
