During WWII (after the Spanish Civil War) the Germans were running out of sidearms.
Franco of Spain was friendly with Germany; he agreed to sell Germany the Astra Model 600, a 9mm Parabellum copy of their 9mm Largo Astra 400. When D-Day happened Spain was no longer able to ship the guns through France to Germany. After WWII Germany petitioned the Allied Occupation Commission to allow their Police to carry sidearms and long arms. Spain said hey we have these...9mm pistols; and then sold them to Germany a second time! Those smart Spaniards!

H&R made several variations of this rifle; the Marine Corps used the Model MC-58 and variants as primary trainers before moving to the M1 Garand.
Mine is a Model 150 "Leatherneck .22 Long Rifle. In weight is is similar to the M1 Garand; the bolt is underneath the barrel...

Sometimes I regret selling a gun; this is one of them. It was a Vector Arms, US Made .223 rifle made with an H&K Model 33 Parts Kit. It was fun!

Browning but not a Hi Power!
This is a Browning BDM supposedly a refined Hi Power. This pistol has a slide mounted screw that allows it to be changed from Single Action to Single Action/Double Action. It wasn't their most popular gun!

26 July: a weird gun. Although it looks like a High Standard .22 but it is a "FIALA" - a magazine fed single shot pistol. The gun is part of a "system" that include different barrel lengths, a rifle stock, etc. It was designed for use in the Arctic.
  27 July: Rossi Ranch Hand .45 Colt. Shades of  McQueen as Josh Randall on Wanted Dead or Alive!
