RESERVED RESERVED Cold War / Vietnam War Era Chinese State Factory ‘66’ Type 56-1 (AK47 / AKMS) 7.62 x 39mm Calibre Assault Rifle With Folding Stock. Sn 22534:14 - 22534:14 The Type 56-1 Automatic Rifle also known as the AK-56 is a Chinese 7.62×39mm rifle. It is a variant of the Soviet-designed AK-47 (specifically Type 3) and AKM rifles (with folding stock). Production started in 1956 at Chinese State Factory 66. During the Cold War period, the Type-56 was exported to many countries and guerrilla forces throughout the world. Many of these rifles found their way to battlefields in Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East and were used alongside other Kalashnikov pattern weapons from both the Soviet Union as well the Warsaw Pact nations of Eastern Europe. Chinese support for the Democratic Republic of Vietnam before the mid-1960s meant that the Type-56 was frequently encountered by American soldiers in the hands of either Vietcong guerrillas or PAVN soldiers during the Vietnam war. The Type-56 was discovered far more often than the original Russian-made AK-47s or AKMs. This is an excellent Chinese Type 56 with folding stock. It is serial number 19177437 and has other un-matching numbers. The wood work of this weapon has just light bumps and bruises to be expected. It has the correct fore sight, adjustable rear sight, forward sling bar and rear sling swivel. It has a folding skeleton stock which operates as it should.

SOLD SOLD Chinese War Lord Period C1911 To Late 1940’s FN Browning M1900 .32 ACP Calibre Semi Automatic Pistol & Period Leather Holster. Sn 22534:12 - 22534:12 The FN Browning M1900 (known at the time in Europe just as Browning pistol) is a single action semi-automatic pistol designed c. 1896 by John Browning for Fabrique Nationale de Herstal (FN) and produced in Belgium at the turn of the 20th century. It was the first production handgun to use a slide. In 1900, driven by feedback from the Belgian military, FN introduced what was later called M1900, an improved design based on the M1899. The weapon is chambered for .32 ACP, also known as 7.65×17mm Browning SR ("SR" denotes semi-rimmed). This is a rare Chinese Browning FN 1900 copy most likely produced in China during the Chinese warlord period circa 1911 to the late 1940s, these pistols appear in a myriad of different designs and finishes. Some can be very crudely hand made and others, like this one are considered very high quality factory made copies, most likely the Jinling arsenal - who were one of only a few companies capable of producing very accurate copies. All are hand finished and often have unique design features. This particular example would be considered to be a faithful copy of a genuine FN1900 but with wood grips opposed to the vulcanite FN signature grips found on FN pistols. The most obvious give away to its authenticity is the lack of script on the left side of the slide and frame. Although the gunsmiths making these pistols were skilled machinists they had no real grasp of what the original script signified and would hand stamp guns with what they thought looked convincing. These guns were usually sold within the Chinese military to a mostly illiterate customer base who wouldn't be aware or appreciate the significance of these markings. They even applied fake FN proof stamps in an attempt to make it more convincing and some genuine parts were sometimes used. If you collect Browning FN pistols, you probably won't have one of these. The pistol is serial number 716 stamped on the slide and frame. The rear sight block is numbered ‘415576’ and has what appears to be Belgian Liege proofs either copied or indicating some FN parts used to build this pistol. The wood grips are undamaged and have naïve hand applied light chequering applied. The pistol cocks by pulling back the slide and it dry fires.. The magazine can be removed and the safety catch works. The pistol comes with a period brown leather holster which has a magazine carrier on the front aspect, rear belt loop and retaining straps, one with eyelet that fastens to a steel lug on the other. The price includes deactivation certificate and UK delivery. Sn 22534:12 £0.00 |

The need for additional small arms combined with a shortage of spare industrial capacity led the British government to contract with United States commercial arms manufacturers, Winchester, Remington and Eddystone (a subsidiary of Remington set up principally to manufacture the P14) to produce the P14 for the British, which continued until the US entered the war in 1917. This is a rare WW1 Winchester USA made P14 Rifle in .303 calibre. The woodwork and metal work of this weapon are in nice undamaged condition with just the knocks, bumps and bruises to be expected.

The metal also has British WD arrow together and GR (George Rex) inspection mark indicating British WW2 re-issue after WW1 service. The rifle is fitted with its original flip up rear ladder sight and winged fore sight and has an additional period Parker Hale PH5B Mk VII Target Sight. It has a steel butt plate with trap, sling swivels fitted with webbing sling and bayonet bar. The weapon, cocks and dry fires crisply.
