Went to an auction - you know what happened next...

[RodTheWrench]

Long story short, after 3 days of hunting and no luck, decided to hit up an auction on Saturday. Turns out some dude died and left all of his guns and ammo to someone that didn't want them. I think there were 130 in total, maybe 100 pistols and 30 rifles. Gotta admit I was excited when I found that out! Usually only get 5-6 guns at most auctions around these parts.

Sooo, of course I came home with a few. I'll show you guys my favorite one first:

Here's a few more. Lockup is good, all things that should be tight are tight, trigger feels great. Looks to have been carried a bit, but there's no rust on it anywhere I can see. Not sure if the grips are real, rare or other. Tell me what you know about these!

Someone has taken the sideplate off before using a screwdriver that wasn't correct for the job.

The grips are probably 1950s/60s replacements.

They're fun little guns. I've got one that I enjoy shooting.

Nice, Like the pearl grips no matter what Gen. Patton said.
