I'm glad I'm not the only one here with the audacity to post pictures of pumpguns on a fine-gun webpage!
GLS- Your guns look lovely! Both look to be Special Grade guns (17B). If that is the original finish then mine definitely has acquired something of a "patina" over time. Also, are you sure of that date? I thought 17s were discontinued in 1933?
Kutter: I assume that my father-in-law attempted to release the slide during his FTF, and it didn't seem to solve the problem for him. He got it to open only after pulling the trigger a second time. Is that an issue? Also, the Model 10s you mentioned intrigue me. They seem to have very nice lines (from what I can see on the web about them). Their poor reputation does seem a bit harsh, considering what some folks are asking for good copies now. Did they ever make them in sub-gauges? Last question: where does the Model 29 fit in all of this? We're talking about pumpguns here that I didn't even know existed until a few short months ago.
