    my dad recently showed me a browing model 1910 german pistol. it is all black with the initals N.F. on the top of the grip on both sides. everywhere there is a serial number there is a lufewaffe right beside it. i was told that the browing company was probably taken over by the nazis and they stamped all the guys. i was wanting to know any info on this gun itself or the history of the stamping of the lufewaffe on these guns. thank you.

    What can anyone tell me about Winchester Model 1893, and is it acceptable for CAS? Also, I have a unique rifle I would like to find the history on. It is The Hamilton Rifle No 27, 22 cal. Patented Oct 30, 1900 Aug 13, 1907. MFD by CJ Hamilton & Son, Plymouth, Michigan, USA. It is just tiny and looks like a gun made for a small child.

    The "ELG" indicates it's of Belgian origin and was probably imported prior to 1914. U.S. Arms Company was a trade name used successively by the Alexander WaIler and Company(1877), the Barton and Company (1878) and the H. & D. Folsom Arms Company (1879 & forward) on a variety of firearms.

    Bet you that is FINE Damascus. A term that means "don't shoot it" (in most cases)
