Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Another oddity I added to the collection last year, found in an auction they misidentified it as Chinese... A Japanese Type 26 revolver. These were first issued in the late 1890s and continued to serve all the way up to WWII. The were chambered in a unique 9mm Nambu round.



Not the best pictures I have taken...
