1931 Astra 900 "broomhandle" pistol, converted from 7.63x25 to 9mm para., but thinking of re-barreling back to 7.63. One of my favorite pastols.

Mine is my 1968 P64. However one of my shooting buddies also has a 1944 Nagant revolver. I end up buying ammo for it semi regularly.

I have a cap & ball dueling pistol, unknown age. When my dad was a boy in upstate NY the 1950's, his next door neighbor bought some land in Fl. The neighbor went down to clear the land. While sitting on the stump of a tree he had just cut, he saw what looked like a gun, grown into the wye of another tree. He cut it out & brought it back to my dad. My dad took it apart & cleaned it up. It does seem to function. It has a split nipple, the spur is broken off the hammer & the front sight is missing.
