Ummm... DM51... did you read the rules?
They state no larger than 800x800, and none of my pictures were larger than that. No hard feelings. Thanks for your efforts to keep an eye on things.
I actually don't know a whole lot about it. My dad bought it from a mail-order catalogue when he was around 8-10 years old, so that would've been 1952-1954. In the catalogue it showed the thing driven through a penny.It had deteriorated a little bit by the time I got my grubby little hands on it. There was this awful opaque paint on the handle and it was a bit rusty, so I sanded/stripped the handle and finished it with "tung oil finish" - it's like tung oil but it's got a varnish component too - cleaned up the blade and other metal fittings, oiled the leather sheath, and it's been a great companion when I need it, usually camping. Sharpens up nicely when it needs it, which isn't often. Here are a couple pics (no larger than 800x800
:thumbsup
did find som simular knifes in 1933 year "clas ohlsson" cataloge
they have the same but, slighly different blade
in 1955 they did not have them, i shall se if i can find some cataloge between the years

A Glock 25!
Interesting ... I don't think I've ever seen a 25 or 28 in my life.
Not surprising since I don't think they're available in the US. Not sure they'd sell any better than the 19 or 26 anyways. Still, I'd like to see one in real life anyways since my understanding is that they're the only blowback operated handguns Glock manufactures. I've seen pictures of a disassembled 25 though and it doesn't have a fixed barrel design (like most straight blowback pistols) so .... I guess it's not blowback but short-recoil? I'm confused - maybe it's a modified blowback design? Any thoughts?

Firstly, I would like to say that here in Brazil the firearm laws sucks. I'm LEO and is not easy to agree on these laws, where a civilian who has not comitted any crime can not buy any weapon with a decent power if not a .380. It should be not a problem if in the favelas we (LEOs) not meeting easily the power of the 9mm, .45, 5,56 and 7,62x51mm !!!
I can carry a .40 gun from my PD and could buy a Glock with this caliber. However it would take about $2,500 dollars from me!
This G25 is my backup gun and it did cost about $1,200. (just for the record, my annual salary is about 10,000 dollars)
Well, back to the operation, this model is a locked breech. Yes! I was a bit surprised too. However, the G25 seems can handle this still with the poor quality brazilian ammo. Just about no recoil on this model. It's great once the shot need hit where it need! :thumbsup:
Cheers from Brazil.

Welcome!!!
Jeez, 12% of your salary? That's like a cost of a good, lightly used motorcycle in the U. S.Firstly, I would like to say that here in Brazil the firearm laws sucks.

Thanks for the reply Dioni. That's what I suspected about the G25.
I assume that's a Taurus PT938 in your pic? Makes sense since you live in Brazil.
Did I overdo it?
I'm pretty sure that Victorinox flashlight isn't actually made in Switzerland but that's the best I could do.

The Taurus is a PT940. It's my duty gun, from my PD. :thumbsup:
Nice pic though!
