My gunong collection and some thoughts

[Royston]

Nice thread.

Here are my 4.

From left to right the hilts are:- M.O.P, wood, wood, bone.
The left hand one shows signs of blade lamination.

Regards
Roy

Hello Roy,

I really like the second from the left, a very early example, turn of the 19th century. The one with MOP is also a nice one. The both on the right are post WWII, but the one with wooden handle has a very nice okir work.

Regards,
Detlef

Another one which will enter the family soon.

Very nice addition Detlef. You are starting to acquire quite the collection of these. You need to start showing a family group photo every once in awhile too.

Kronckew, I've a "justincase" too. Though not as pretty as yours it does hold 15 rounds.

Best,
Robert

Hello Robert,
thank you. Maybe I will have some work with it, look like the blade is plated.
Will take a family portrait when I have received it.

Regards,
Detlef

i used to have a 1911 colt .45 acp mk. IV series 70 in a shoulder holster hanging on the bedpost when i was last living in the states. and a 12 ga. pump riot gun with an extended mag under the bed. my then wife had my s&w 6in.model 66 in the nightstand drawer on her side. (she got custody of it when we split).

i didn't need 15 rounds

and my group photo:

With that grouping you'd only need one .

For "this" case I have a long blade! Are the mounts from silver or aluminium?

If Justincase came through the door I think I'd rather just shoot the bastard .

My exact sentiments as well Rick.

Have received the gunong, it's a very big one, 36 cm inside scabbard with a blade lenght from 23,5 cm. Fittings are from silver but poorly done. The blade wasn't plated and after a quick polish and etch it show a beautiful lamination. Will show pictures later at the day and also a group picture.
