Very nice. Judging from your previous posts and photos, seems like you have a nice collection of a vast array of military history.View attachment 387034
Unfortunately, mine aren't as rare as many of yours were...

... but I still have them all, plus a few more not pictured. (And the firearms all shoot!)

Does anyone know what "dewats and 12.3 converted autos" means? I wouldn't think it would be 12.3mm; even the Thompson in .45 is only 11mm.
Almost every time I look at CG it makes me want to gag for that very reason - to my mind that's nothing but destroying them. Mine may not be the best examples and some have restoration and are even RC "parts guns" like my three Mausers, but at least THEY ALL SHOOT! The only ones (apart from my French Napoleonic flintlocks) I haven't shot are the two Arisakas whose ammunition has become largely unavailable and therefore too costly.I had these two pistols deactivated and sent them to Collector's Guild in New Brunswick to sell on consignment.

Unfortunately it skims the surface and omits many of the accepted "classics" like the U.S. M.1911 Colt and Luger pistols; Trapdoor, '03 Springfield and M.1 rifles, etc. I don't believe there are any real rarities either. But I've enjoyed "accumulating" them over the past twenty years, mainly since retiring.Very nice.
