Thanks for preserving such pieces of history. Props. Hadn't seen a Nambu before. Interesting ergonomics and sizing for the Asian hand. Any of these personal take-offs or bring-backs?

[Sutcliffe]

Very nice

The Nambu is an abomination. Although, compared to the Type 94, I suppose it is a beauty queen.

Since I was a kid, i have always dreamed i'd get a real WWII Colt US M1911A1 one day ... but at more than $5k (the ones in very good condition) ... it's not gonna happen anytime soon

Very cool!

I actually did not know .45 shotshells existed.

Beautiful! Does that byf44 have less filler in the grips than normal? They seem unusually smooth.
