Click on a link (A link is identified when the pointer changes to a pointing hand.) below to view the page containing more details and notes about that particular model. We have posted the images and information to help other collectors looking for reference material. The guns on this page are not for sale.  We try to be as accurate as possible, but the information presented here is based on observations and official records.  Official records have shown to be very useful but often leave much to be desired for accuracy and dependability.  Observations are also useful so long as enough pistols are available for examination and these pistols have not been altered in any way. Observed pistols in some serial ranges seem to be nearly non existent. Consequently when a pistol emerges out of a drawer it may reveal new information that was previously unreported; it may also lead to a wild goose chase if the pistol has been altered. Therefore many details, explanations, and exact serial number ranges may never be known in depth, but as information is uncovered, every attempt will be made to present it here. We therefore apologize in advance for any errors or omissions, but welcome corrections and comments. Special Thanks to Karl Karash for his on-going writing and research contributions to the "Gallery". **Letters such as (SA), (MR), (RIA) and (AA) next to model indicate Arsenal marked.
