Turkish Police rig

Opinions on this Turkish rig?

Herb · 07-15-2005, 06:14 PM

Herb, got a link??

drbuster · 07-15-2005, 07:19 PM

Herb, I have been spending almost hours trying to post my pictures. I also haven't had success on Still's Forum, which is supposed to be easier! I have followed the instructions for Still's Forum (and have been able to post pics successfully in the past), but get those red "x's". With this Forum, I can't seem to "cut and paste". I have this wonderful Turkish Police rig to post pictures of and I'm frustrated. I can feel for Tom Armstrong! Perhaps I can e-mail some to you?

drbuster,

I see the photocurse has you also. The cure is simple:

1. Pour a glass of the best bourbon you can buy into your computer
2. Don't worry about them steenking pictures
3. Install new motherboard
4 Send pix to Ed or John S and humbly ask for help
5. Get second glass of bourbon, consume and chill out.

Been there, got the T-shirt, and have the bourbon.

Tom, For one (and presumably you too) who was brought up before the computer revolution, I am stumped about "links", "cut and paste", "URL's", etc. Your advice #4 seems to be the most reasonable and the wife won't be able to detect any offensive odors!

Edward Tinker · 07-15-2005, 08:15 PM

There is no way you can cut and paste on either forum for the pictures.

The links you should be able to cut and paste at the top on the Address line. You highlite, copy and paste it here in the reply section...

To make the "link" show as a picture you have to add img at the front and /img at the rear of the link. No spaces and [] on each side. If you think it through logically, it all makes sense. The computer sees the [img ] and what is in between (ie the link) and the [/img] and it knows, oh a picture is located here, make it show.

Computers are not difficlut, it is just hard remembering the "correct" things to do to make them work. That and vodka or bourbon.

To copy and then paste a picture, you right click, save to your hard drive, naming and remembering where you put it. Then you "upload" it here...

Ed, I get lost somewhere between right clicking and saving to my hard drive. I don't get far enough to remember where I put it, although I would probably have trouble there too. As Tom A. suggests above, can I e-mail you some photos of this really nice (and rare) rig so YOU can post them for me?

Whoa Doc! That is VERY nice. Is it yours? Must have spent it's entire career in a desk.

Never knew Thompson-Center made Lugers.

Ron

drbuster · 07-15-2005, 09:02 PM

Yes, Ron, it IS mine!

Edward Tinker · 07-15-2005, 09:19 PM

looks very nice!

I know nothing about these types, as they are very rare!

Dwight Gruber · 07-15-2005, 09:21 PM

Doc,

In the words of the late lamented Frank Zappa, Wowie-Zowie!! That is one heckuva nice rig, many many congratulations on your acquisition and as many thanks for sharing it with us.

Who is the holster maker?

--Dwight

Edward Tinker · 07-15-2005, 09:22 PM

Akah he told me.

Ed

drbuster · 07-15-2005, 09:48 PM

Thanks for your comments, Dwight. Ed is right, the maker is AKAH. The firm made holsters for several commercial contracts by Mauser. Of interest, the magazine pouch is sewn on separately, in the WW1 style...very well made. I don't know how the pistol got out of Turkey in such good shape (witness #101 on Pheonix Investment Arms), but it obviously did. Mike Krause knows a collector who has one in TOTAL mint condition. Apparently the sear bar was defective and, believe it or not, it was just discarded and NEVER used!
