New Winter photo contest

I started this forum for any collecting hobby and it turned into my camera collecting and using forum. I use it mostly to keep a record of my photo adventures. Nobody but me seems to have photo adventures that visit here....but however. I have so many cameras now that I forget which is which and which ones work and which ones don't. If you have cameras and adventures you would be welcome to post here.

Now that is imagination and creativity to boot. And I can see the spoon used for his last meal. If he had put the catsup on the right side of his head or switched the Nagant pistol to his left hand we would have wondered if what was in that can drove him to put the pistol to his head.

But one more day and we will let the voting begin and Vern may have the last laugh.......and a cup with this picture on it. :rebel:

Wow, that's a fantastic set of pistols blackisler.
Got some info on them, like caliber, reloading equipment and range report.
I always wanted to buy myself one of these but it has to be an original one.
A replica needs a license over here and an original one doesn't.
You might need to post this info somewhere else, but I'd very much like to have the info.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Martin

Sorry Duncan, but the poor dead Russian soldier (my son Greg) said the ketchup was ok, but no flesh removal was allowed. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Vern.
:USA:

Peace is that brief, quiet moment in history.......... when everybody stands around reloading.
