What handgun makers making in late 1800s & early 1900s..
Here is a picture of 3-32 ACPs from late 1800s to early 1900s. One is a Savage pocket automatic which I bought for $20, the next one is a Colt and the third is a Remington in the first picture. I already had put up my browning or it would be in there as well. Second pic is a DRYESE in 32. Third pic is a 38 "lemon squeezer" along with a gentlesman gun, a 25 acp Berretta. The last 3 pictures are of a Mossberg 4 shot, 4 barrel tip up in 22 I think. This shows teh different directions the gunmakers were going as to pocket pistols around the turn of the 20th century. Yes Mossberg made a gentlemans handgun! 1. Savage, Colt, and Remington 32 ACP or rimless as they called them. > 2. a DRYESE 32 from Europe. > 3. A lemon Squeezer (I think my one of my S&Ws in 398 S&W) and a Berretta 25 made in Italy but I have 2 more Berretta tip ups made in Brazil! > 4. 3 pics of a Mossberg 4 shot, 4 barrel tip up gentlemans gun. 1.> 2.> 3.>

Ron & Charlie, NOPE! I will keep it if for no other reason to brag that I got that Savage for $20 + tax (a whole $1.20) but let the short barrel one with no mag slip by at $15! That is what I get for racking my jaw with friends at an auction when I should have been listening. Same auction I was after a flintlock rifle that should have brought 1K at least. It was last gun to sell and brought $400, I got it! I let other guns go by at 1/2 what low dollar would be on them. Watched a matched set, 20-16-12 ga 11-48s sell for under $200 each and all 3 were NIB! Man I could have walked out with many guns IF they had sold that flinter first. :sad:
