Simply astounding, Jim. Have i ever heard that you have got rid of all your arms collection in favor of space for a library in your RV ... AKA bookmobile ?

Hi Kubur, Ricky and Fernando!!!
Thank you so much guys!
Ricky thank you so much for the great assessment and explanation.

Yes, I do have a secret garden

of sorts, but mostly stored away for the 15 years 'on the road' in the 'Bookmobile'. Over time I did get a few guns, but true the swords always have captivated me in the 50 years of collecting.
While intriguing, the guns are far too complicated for my non mechanical understanding, but as always, historically I like them from aesthetic point of view.
I really admire the knowledge of you' gun guys' !!! and Ricky thank you for the generous look at my pistol, which seems far more intriguing now! A very nice new years gift

Thanks Jim. Glad I could help a bit. It's reciprocal. LOL Thanks for your I.D. of my Afghan saber a couple years ago.
