Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Japanese Nambu Type 14 from 1944 a 'suicide gun'?

Late-war Japanese Nambu Type 14 pistols from 1944 are nicknamed 'suicide guns' due to their poor manufacturing quality. Specifically, the sear is very sensitive, and a slight bump can cause the firearm to discharge unintentionally, posing a significant safety risk.

What are key characteristics of German SS pistols acquired at the 2024 Show of Shows?

The SS pistols, such as Walther PP and PPK models, often feature specific Waffen stamps indicating SS ownership. While they may come with correct magazines, these are not always matching to the firearm's serial number, which is a common characteristic for collectors to note.

How does the Show of Shows (SOS) compare to larger gun shows like Tulsa or Shot Show for collectors?

While Tulsa and Shot Show are larger and offer a broader range of products, the Show of Shows is specifically lauded for its curated selection of collectible military firearms. This focus makes it an ideal destination for collectors specializing in historical and military-issue weapons.

What is the significance of the 'Eagle K' marking on Czech pistols?

The 'Eagle K' marking on Czech pistols, such as the CZ 27, is a police marking. This indicates that the firearm was issued to law enforcement agencies during the mid-war period, distinguishing it from those issued to the military which typically bear standard Waffen stamps.
