Colt .38 Long Officers (Navy) owned by my mother's father, a WO in WWII :
Colt Commander my Dad carried in Korea and early in Vietnam:
A Browning Hi-Power that my wife's Great Uncle brought back from WWII. German markings. He carved his name in the grip and fought with it after he took it. Still have the holster he modified to be more efficient.
