New Section?

I'd like to suggest a new section. How about a Curios & Relics section? I'm sure quite a few of us collect old guns, it would be a fun section to compare notes. For Instance, how many people recognize this one?

Johnwill,

What about Harvey Nolden's forum? Research on old and interesting firearms seems to be what that forum's all about.

Repeat request.
Reasonable request.

Unfortunately, we're just swamped with daily life and times. Additionally, as has been said, Harley's forum is already set up for this.

Warner Infallible?

(Nope, not a Cruffler yet, just thinking hard about it)

RAE, you win the stale cigar.

I guess I was looking for something that more people would frequent, I can't believe there aren't more of us collectors posting here... There isn't much traffic in Harvey Nolden's forum.

Maybe Harley's forum could use a name change?

Harley's Firearms Research and Curio & Relic yadda yadda yadda?

Or maybe, given the relative age, nature, etc., of some of the firearms that are now classified as C&Rs, maybe it's just better to leave them to be dealt with in the appropriate section.

to All:
I have no heart burn with the changing the name of the Research Institute to include the curios etc. I will have to agree that it would fall into the same catagory as research. I will leave the final decision up to the powers.

The Pistol that has been presented appears to be a Warner Infallible Pocket Automatic Pistol, made from 1917 - 1919 by Warner Pistol of Norwich Connecticut, also known as Davis-Warner Arms Co

Just back from thinning the TX hog and coyote populations. Give me a couple of days and I will get this change done.
