Loved his movies growing up, and it contributed to the love of this hobby. Funny enough I overpaid for the 3 pistols at the time paid $400, could have bought 4 for the price.

These rifles saw a lot of heavy use in Vietnam, and most examples are very rough mixed part rifles. The stocks and externally are rough on these but mechanically they are very good with good rifling and all matching parts. They were claimed to be GI bring backs, and unlike others I’ve seen these don’t have import marks so I believe it; but no way to prove it. Nice fireballs and fairly accurate.

Nanjing 21st arsenal. The first standard issue rifle of the nationalist army. Made in China with tooling provided by the Germans. My grandfather had used this rifle in WW2, and as child hearing his war stories and the retreat to Taiwan; this rifle holds a very special place to me and those who share a similar heritage. Extremely rare find in Canada.
