it's common for the medalions to be missing I had leather punch size just right for this and cut two out stained them black and rubber cemented them in so they can easily be removed if I ever find a replacement medalion to put in. neat little guns well made

Marc Neat gun to have - your really bringing out some heirlooms ! It might have a weak magazine or recoil spring. Those often wear out on the old guns. That and perhaps some oil ? No reason to tinker with it much as part of their charm is keeping them as they were handed down. And I agree, there is nowhere I’d want a 1/4” hole either May all your journeys be adventures and your havens safe

Military arms channel had one of these years ago when they did a budget challenge, I think Mac had a s&w 380 in that one . The 25 acp ran fine in their gun . Cool little gun

They're similar to the Jennings and the Lorcins. Not the most reliable but still fun just to have around. Nice little keepsake.
@marcthomas24822 жыл бұрын
Similar, but I have a Jennings and they are junk metal. This is at least real steel. I'm sure it could be cleaned, tweaked, and tuned but it's still just a .25 😄 Fun to keep though! Thanks WinModel88!

As a collector of .25ACP guns I love that nearly all of these guns somehow use the construction of the babybrowning.

Personally I think it is a neat little gun. Especially since it was your dad's gun. I have a little one like that in .32acp called a Bayard. I'm not sure if you saw my video on it or not. It is one my dad had and gave to me. I have no idea where he got it from, but it is a 1908 model if I recall. Not sure if the link will stay, but here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmPJp3h3Ys2BnpY
