My dad was a Marine in WW2 and he was issued a BAR. On Guam he got a Johnson LMG. He carried that and loved it. He said it was lighter and easier to get through the jungle. he called it a "Buck Rogers gun".
Believe it or not... I carried an Inglis browning in Afghanistan in 09... stampings were 1944, and the gun i used was out of Canadian War stocks. Bran new. Worked perfectly..
@@thornyturtleranch6152 It's been a couple of days and John hasn't answered, so I'll fill in what I can. The gun was a Browning Hi-Power, which was made by Inglis during the Second World War.. The Canadian military stuck to the Hi-Power for many decades, although they seem to be looking for a replacement now. Odds are very high that John is a Canadian.
@@9drtr oh okay. I have long thought that the browning high power should have been a much more widely used firearm especially in the usa early on. I know 9mm has gotten hotter but a 13 plus 1, 9mm sure beats an 8 shot 45 any day. Hell, I'd rather have a 13 or 14 shot .380 or .32 than perhaps an 8 shot .45. In reality its about shots on target and shot placement. You can miss as easily with a .45 as a .380 so I'd much rather have the shot quantity. But damn that hi power was a nice nice weapon designed very early and silly not to have been adopted by usa. Those canadians were smart.
@@thornyturtleranch6152 We had the Hi-Power dropped in our laps. When the Germans occupied Belgium in 1940, some of FN's engineers escaped with the original engineering blueprints for it and they wound up in Canada. Inglis made some under contract for China, which was at war with Japan at the time. By the time that contract was fulfilled, the army was looking for any handgun they could get because the stocks of Colts in .455 was pretty much depleted. They looked around and lo, a company in Toronto was making the best handgun in the world.
'We don't want to put anything on camera that might be illegal.' I'm from the UK, about the only thing on camera that's not illegal over here is the carpet!
Have you checked EU laws on carpet? I'm sure there's two fat binders of laws and regulations you have to go through from sourcing materials to installation by licensed contractors.
I just love those Lugers but I’ll never own one in this country. I can imagine the sound when you snick the magazine into place or rack the mechanism, the weight in the hand and the coldness of the metal. It’s a craving that’ll never be satisfied
Awesome collection, sadly in the UK we don't have the legal system that allows ownership. You have so much more freedom in some respects in the US! However I find the history behind the guns, much more interesting. Thanks to collectors like you and so many American service personnel, that bought back many German weapons, we can see and learn, a little bit of history. Great vids and information, really enjoyed watching.
The document is not a capture paper but an import license required by the Federal Firearms Act of 1938 to bring a firearm into the USA.Every firearm brought back by a GI had to have an import license.GI's gear was searched by US customs as they arrived back in the states for contraband items without documentation and firearms without documents.
Exactly what I was thinking! Corporate used "Covid19" to lay off a lot of people. Even so, I probably still wouldn't have been able to afford that Stg44, or that Artillery Model Luger P-08 with stock/holster. It is nice to see them in decent condition. I always shot better with the older weapons. had better sights on them. "Aim Small, Miss Small".
John Blood - Yes, we have to make peace with our enemies. It might seem very personal while a war is raging, but when it ends and the hype goes, we should realise that most of us (both sides) are just people who were caught up in something bigger than ourselves. My dad and uncles fought on one side of WW2 and my partner's two grandfathers were both killed on the other side. They weren't in the same battles, mercifully - so my family can't have killed any of her family. She isn't bitter about the war, but prefers not to think about it. We have a lovely painting that one of those grandfathers painted. Germany eventually recovered from the war and it has become one of the most prosperous and civilised countries/regimes the world has ever known. If we need to move one day, Germany is high on our short list of countries to live in. I ask of anyone who still commemorates WW1 & WW2 on 11th November to emphasise reconciliation and appreciation for the sacrifices made, and play down the victory over our enemies thing. It would be nice if German & Japanese families were made to feel welcome at such commemorations.

I think the reading for 征矢 is "Soya" you can read "Seiya" but as a name, it is more likely to be "Soya". Name was originated from Nagano Prefecture, and it seem to be shorten form of 征矢野"Soyano" who was a samurai at 15th century.

correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe the johnson rifle was in competition with the m1 garand to win the military contract. a certain number of them were made, and with the start of ww2 the U'S' was kinda blindsided, unprepared if you will. they were initially short on the newer garands and carbines, and to get passed this hurdle, many troops were initially issued ww1 bolt action rifles such as the 1903 springfield and the U.S. 1917 enfield, along with what ever johnsons were available. to the best of my knowledge, the pacific theater saw more unretired ww1 rifles than the european theater. the one common denomiater being they all fired the same 30 06 round
@@LegacyCollectibles brother i am 60 years old, in n e ohio, and i remember 30 or so years ago a certain dept store that sold m1 garands for a scant $300 and carbines for pennies, $150. even if they were shot out and barely functional it woulda been a good deal. if only i knew then what i know now lol
A regulation I would hope we could all agree on is requiring a 4473 or state issued CHL (or equivalent) for private sales. I love going to gun shows but hate it when someone I don't feel good about for whatever reason asks me a price for what I brought in. I'm not in the business of "profiling" but I've seen many transactions at shows that made me uncomfortable. One would think prison tattoos would be an automatic disqualifier, but not for some people. I have also seen many overt straw purchases which are already illegal. If we don't find a way to accept even modest changes to limit criminals' access to weapons, or at least make it more difficult and costly for them, then eventual harsh regulations written by people who don't understand collectors are inevitable.
A lot of people who do private sales will ask to see a concealed carry permit. That's pretty good validation. But I do object to background checks for private sales; that isn't a loophole, it was explicitly added to the Gun Control because it was a requirement to pass it.
@@williammccaslin8527 Guy picks out the gun, points it out, other guy takes his money and makes the purchase, handing the pistol back to the guy who picked it out. Not just one time and all in front of the dealer. This is not a just-one-time thing. Go to a gun show in a major city and watch for yourself. One time I traded for a Tek-9 just to see if it was really that awful and whether my gunsmithing skills could make it reliable. Just curiosity really. It was truly irreparably awful. Took it with me to a gun show in Dallas to get rid of it. couldn't believe the number of gang looking thugs who came out of the woodwork offering to buy it. I did eventually sell it to one guy who at last spoke English. Had no fear he could do much harm with that useless thing. We shouldn't be put in that situation. How are we to know if someone is a bad guy? It is a fact that people not allowed to posses weapons go to gun shows to get them. Adding a booth to gun shows to do transfers for $20 would be easy. If we don't agree to something like that we will have stricter regulations forced on us.
That Inglis Hi-Power is Canadian Military issue it did not come with the wood holster those were for the Chinese contract guns that had the groove in the handle missing on the Example shown. And they are 13 round mags not 15... also they were made to handle the military round equivalent to +P+...sten gun ammo... heavy springs.
Cool guns - looks like you guys bought 90% of Rockisland Auction Company inventory from very recent last 2-3 auctions. I recognize most of those pistols from previous RIA auctions and shipping boxes you showed being Rock island Auction stuff. No wonder why i could not get anything. we were bidding also on some of those pistols and even recognize serial numbers LOL. It just make me think "WHAT IS UP".......All of it was just recently sold on RIA - Christmas was actually there few months ago ...:) Happy collecting...

Question.. how often.. do you sell a orginal 1911, 45 from colt or springfield ? And even.. how common are they in the U.S that is not replica ? aswell, how much do they go for?
I wanted to share that my wife bought me my dream gun on the 17th. I finally got a colt single action army from 1882. I'm not going to lye I love my ww2 guns but I dream of being a cowboy in the 1880s

“Forced Matched” is a polite way of saying “faked by Mitchel” Tom your educational videos are a service to collectors and a credit to you - Thank you sir!
Tom, what an enjoyable, educational, envious viewing experience. Two items, a correction and a "review:" 18:20 - 18:51 This Colt, as you describe and the Colt letter specifies, is indeed a Model 1878, DOUBLE action in caliber 44 WCF (.44-40). SO -- that is not the Sheriff's Model, which you term it. The Sheriff's Model is a traditional Single Action Army with a shorter barrel, 4" or 3", and manufactured without the ejector rod and its housing. In fact other designating monikers of the era were "ejectorless" Single Action Army and Storekeeper's Model. The trigger, occupying the middle position within the trigger guard lets us know it's a double action; whereas the single action model's trigger (of the Sheriff's Model) sits at the rear portion of the trigger guard. . . . The buyer will certainly appreciate the letter from Colt, authenticating the particulars. 00:41 - 00:46 Such a camera-pleasing, audience-grabbing, natural talent you're blessed to have with "the screamer" (?rehearsing for Halloween?) startling us and most definitely leading us to wonder 'just what IS inside?' at the moment and, for some of us, intermittently throughout your captivating presentation's 46 mins. Also 'is the young actress to make a return appearance at the 45:30 mark with "a big reveal" of the box's contents?' Ed. - "No." . . . We are relieved to see the child has the proximity, comfort and security of the dog -- obviously in on the gag. And all the lights on. Thanks, Legacy Collectibles; I had fun throughout. And learned "a lot of neat stuff."
Also you would have liked the book I just sold not too long ago it was an original German Hitler signed by Hitler Mein Kampf. And I pretty much gave it away for the price and a collector out in the Midwest actually drove to Pennsylvania to pay me for it and he said it was 100% original signed by Hitler. I have a video of it on youtube right before i sold it under a differant name. If you want to look at it online I can let you know the link

Gun Jesus (aka Ian McCollum) has a video explaining and showing in detail the reloading of a Luger snail magazine through Forgotten Weapons. The actual weapon was an MP-18 (A "Doughboy bring-back" weapon.)

In order for you to be self-proclaimed Gun Santa. There needs to be a ceremony of Gun Jesus blessing all of this. THAT ceremony needs to be on video.
Great vid. Thanks for making all of us, well some of us smarter with your vids. The learning process never ends.
That Walther and the holster is just sublime.
i have a 1967 PP in .22 long rifle , guess they are rare , its smoother than my colt python.
Those last 3 k98’s look like Mitchell’s mausers unfortunately. The sanded blonde stocks, polished bolts, and matte black finish give it away
LOL I was thinking the same thing.
The Inglis Hi-Powers are among the best. We still use the HiPower in the Canadian Forces. I've been looking for an Inglis HiPower in decent nick for decades
What a great finding.....👍🤓😁🤝
I love these Vis 9mm
Gorgeous & so important to preserve.
Thanks for sharing.
The browning hi power wasn’t the first double stack magazine nor the first mag over 10 the savage 1907 was a double stack magazine and held 10 rounds
Question.. how often.. do you sell a orginal 1911, 45 from colt or springfield ? And even.. how common are they in the U.S that is not replica ? aswell, how much do they go for?
Dear Gun Santa ... that MP44 is my dream gun. It's all that I want for Christmas.
I wanted to share that my wife bought me my dream gun on the 17th. I finally got a colt single action army from 1882. I'm not going to lye I love my ww2 guns but I dream of being a cowboy in the 1880s
Yeah, just something about the old west that grabs the imagination..
Single action Colts are very dangerous.

😄😄😄😄
Wow! Guns lots of Guns 😱👍
i love mouse guns cute hard to find in the uk
Goodness, if I tried to get that lot delivered to my address in the UK, I'd probably end up serving 200 years in prison!! I wonder if the carpet's legal?
I have run out of drool and out of tears, Thank you Tom.
America: gun collector
United Kingdom: nut job
UK.. me too , just look and dream bro
true American: collecting? what are you some autistic nerd
Always love the Mouser C96 carbine
A Great channel, but a little correction about the FN Browning Hi Power pistol, it did not have a fifteen shots magazine but thirteen.
Please gun santa come to my house I have been a good gun nut
Guns and Shooting ranges should be re-legalized in the UK now, I shot Lee Enfield No4 Sniper back in the day, would love to range a suppressed MTs-116M from the Russian stock chambered for a .338 Lapua Magnum Russians seem to have come a long way in suppression
Those k98k’s are force matched by Mitchell’s Mausers, reblued, and stocks sanded.
“Forced Matched” is a polite way of saying “faked by Mitchel”
Tom your educational videos are a service to collectors and a credit to you - Thank you sir!
Ian’s gun Jesus. You are Gun Dad. You remind me of a Farther so much teaching us about cool collectable guns.
Northern California Latinos support President TRUMP!!

@@cullinankeys Que Va?
Tom, what an enjoyable, educational, envious viewing experience.
Two items, a correction and a "review:" 18:20 - 18:51 This Colt, as you describe and the Colt letter specifies, is indeed a Model 1878, DOUBLE action in caliber 44 WCF (.44-40). SO -- that is not the Sheriff's Model, which you term it. The Sheriff's Model is a traditional Single Action Army with a shorter barrel, 4" or 3", and manufactured without the ejector rod and its housing. In fact other designating monikers of the era were "ejectorless" Single Action Army and Storekeeper's Model. The trigger, occupying the middle position within the trigger guard lets us know it's a double action; whereas the single action model's trigger (of the Sheriff's Model) sits at the rear portion of the trigger guard. . . . The buyer will certainly appreciate the letter from Colt, authenticating the particulars.
00:41 - 00:46 Such a camera-pleasing, audience-grabbing, natural talent you're blessed to have with "the screamer" (?rehearsing for Halloween?) startling us and most definitely leading us to wonder 'just what IS inside?' at the moment and, for some of us, intermittently throughout your captivating presentation's 46 mins. Also 'is the young actress to make a return appearance at the 45:30 mark with "a big reveal" of the box's contents?' Ed. - "No." . . . We are relieved to see the child has the proximity, comfort and security of the dog -- obviously in on the gag. And all the lights on.
Thanks, Legacy Collectibles; I had fun throughout. And learned "a lot of neat stuff."
oh those browning 9mm's...the king of the 9's. Best handgun in the world.
Thanks for sharing 😉😊😋!
When you say registered machine gun you must state if it is transferable, pre dealer sample of post dealer sample.
Where do you get the guns I'm looking to buy a www German naxi officer luger
Ho Ho Ho that was fun Gun Santa.

They might be illegal in the US after January 20, 2021.
Good luck with that happening. In my opinion 🇺🇸✊🏻
@@americawehaverights3926 We’ve got to stand together!
That will never happen. Civil disobedience will prevail.
ATF needs to be abolished now
Tom, you look like a little kid on the floor going through his new Christmas presents..
My dream guns, turn out being ones, That I "use to" have
I will take one of those Browning Hi-Power's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely wonderful !!Love for the lugers and ppks
My lord, you've upstaged yourself. Be a long time topping this act!
Also you would have liked the book I just sold not too long ago it was an original German Hitler signed by Hitler Mein Kampf. And I pretty much gave it away for the price and a collector out in the Midwest actually drove to Pennsylvania to pay me for it and he said it was 100% original signed by Hitler. I have a video of it on youtube right before i sold it under a differant name. If you want to look at it online I can let you know the link
browning HP! ...what a good gun for ww2
Thanks for sharing some of your expert knowledge.
I have never fired a gun in my life, but, I am very interested in war memorabilia. This was really interesting.
You need to get out to the range, any range.
Id happily buy one of those generic p38s but I'm in the UK. Looking at the election results though, you guys are gonna be struggling with ownership soon as well.
Nope they can’t touch us the atf was shut down after they tried to shut us down Texas and many other states said if the atf try’s to pass anything we will not enforce them
That unique model 17 pistol is so cool. It’s like a ppk and a 1911 had a baby
What a business you have sir, so knowledgeable. Great video, how does one acquire such relics? Money, period
Santa gives to everyone on his list. It looks like you are going to be hard pressed to not keep these all for yourself
That makes you the “Gun Grinch” not the “Gun Santa”😁
Gun Jesus (aka Ian McCollum) has a video explaining and showing in detail the reloading of a Luger snail magazine through Forgotten Weapons. The actual weapon was an MP-18 (A "Doughboy bring-back" weapon.)

@@Heywoodthepeckerwood and buy weapon.
That STG mp44 is my Christmas wish to Santa.
This is your best video by far with all of the inserts from movies and shows. I found the Hunting knife very interesting. You have a good format. Keep it up. Also, the weapons are are a great selection.
I love this video . amazing
That’s a slice of gun Heaven👍
Thank you for sharing.
Wow amazing history of hand guns. Very cool. Thanks
Beautiful collection! Would love to own a few of those!
Nuts. Looked on the website for that Type 26. Gone already?
Oops! Never mind :)
Tom you have two months I’m expecting some Gun Santa merch in time for Christmas
lLoading a luger snail drum. first you lock the winder on back of magazine, next load about 6 rounds by hand then follow up with loader then unlock spring winder and you are ready to go.
Hey Tom, have you read The Catcher in the Rye, the old Morris plugged me with his Ortgies. Or something like this.
@ 40:03 MP44..I just saw a news video showing a "gun buy back"..Police ALMOST destroyed that rifle.Saying how rare it is & belongs in a museum.And its worth $30,000.It had been sitting in an old lady's closet and she didnt know what she had.Crazy!
