No kidding, $400/yr to host pics on fotobucket? wtf? Looks like they are dong the ol' holding your/the existing data hostage and demanding ransom deal.@DG - I'd like to be able to help out with identification, especially with the German [?] guns. I live in UK and have a ton of reference material, but I can't see the images as they are constantly covered with an unending series of adverts that reappear every time I cancel them.
I'd be grateful if somebody could send me the bare images to my email address to help me out.
TIA

How's SmugMug for hotlinking? That's where Photosucksd**k is getting nasty...No kidding, $400/yr to host pics on fotobucket? wtf? Looks like they are dong the ol' holding your/the existing data hostage and demanding ransom deal.
I pay $30/yr for unlimited data storage on publicly traded SmugMug (I know the owner but who doesn't).
It's seamless.. no issues. I mainly use it for archives (for 15/17yrs now?).. it's a first rate company that's used for serious business.How's SmugMug for hotlinking? That's where Photosucksd**k is getting nasty...
DG - please make a better image of this engraving -

The Barron's Den shut doors late spring. The ventilation system for the indoor range had faltered and a new/rehab of the system came in at nearly $1mil. Once they got the estimates they announced the closing a few days later.Is the Barron's Den still there? I used to know the old man....German of course. I have bought everything from Drillings to machine guns from him. He would be able to shed some light on your guns. I own many Drillings and high end classic German/Austrian guns. Many have not appreciated like some other styles and brands.....i.e., a Colt Python....but they are magnificent guns and always have value. Last year we visited each of the major gun producing regions in Belgium, Austria and Germany. A week in each, bought a great old Merkel drilling during out week in Suhl and a Blaser in the Ulm area. They are very inexpensive in Europe now. The market has turned to modern firearms that can be mounted with a silencer. My 1938 August Schuler trap gun with 100% game scene engraving is worth less than my plain M32 Kreighof. The market can be quite fickle.
I trust both Mountain Bear and Vezley. Depending on where you are at either of these two gentlemen will do you right. I have very high regards for both men.@MountainBear is closer to Eugene than @Velzey. Sweet Home/Lebanon area....
