A few friends and I play a game where we send each other a close up picture of a part of a gun to see if we can accurately identify it. It is a useful exercise in that it encourages us to pay attention to details.

Can you identify these guns?

  2. Webley Mark VI (1941)
  3. Ruger No. 1 (1985)
  4. Colt Python 6” (1971)
  5. German Nazi Mauser K98 (1940)
  6. Colt 1911 (pre A-1) (1916)
  7. AyA No. 2 (1968)
  8. Luger Artillery (1917)
  9. Webley & Scott Model 700
  10. Freedom Arms Pre-Model 83 Premier Grade
  11. Rigby Highland Stalker (2017)
The only ones that stumped you gentlemen were numbers 9 and 10!
 
Yeah. #10 I did not think the rear sight matched Ruger but I had nothing else to suggest. What year is the VZ24? I forgot to call it that. After the war, the refurbished ones were just called model 98 I think unless they still had the VZ24 stampings.

Do you mind me asking what auction you are referencing? I'm not in the market for any of those rifles...just curious.
