Colt
001 . Colt 1911 Frame
Unknown 1917 era Colt 1911 Frame with a receiver for a rifle barrel and the firing pin is positioned for a rimfire cartridge. It also is equipped with two vertical uprights at the top of the receiver and a gas escape port on the right left side. The grip safety has been replaced with a solid backstrap/mainspring housing. The half slide may not be original to the frame. Any ideas?
Colt?
002 . Unknown Prototype .22 auto pistol
Interesting Prototype .22 auto pistol. Professionally made .22 blowback pistol similar to Colt Woodsman. The slide rails are machined as a dovetail rather that the ususal method. Entire pistol is in-the-white except for the blued barrel.
German
003 . German Single-Shot pistol
Interesting little German Single-Shot Pistol. Caliber appears to be a 4mm Centerfire! Nicely made and casehardened overall. Serial number is in the 500 range. Marked D.R.G.M. with no other markings except for serial number. Barrel has a separate liner which appears to be original to the gun.
