Thanks for the input.

Damn. I've been looking for the trigger and hammer group for that very pistol! It's in my underwear drawer with my Washington Arms Collectors badge clipped to it.
I've got a Iver Johnson Model 66, if that will help.
A fellow with an ammo table at a gun show in Tulsa possibly saved my life a few years ago. My loving father-in-law,knowing of my interest in WW11 era military guns, gave me an Italian made Mauser. I was looking over a table of amunition & asked told the seller what I needed. He informed me that he could sell me rounds for my rifle but he didn't really feel comfortable doing it. He said way too many of the rifles like mine were produced with Jewish slave labor. The workers were very adept at sabotage. The poor record of the Italian soldier was due in no small way to the tendancy of their rifles to blow up after a few dozen rounds were fired. My father-in-law put up tabes at shows about once a month most of his adult life yet claimed ignorance of this. He offered to take the gun back, but I kept it as evidence.
Haven't been to a gun show in ages and apparently they haven't changed much. Great representation of the characters you meet there!
No s**t, Jack-
All the gun shows I've ever been to have been crawling with law enforcement ranging from local to county to state to Bee Aye Tee Eff Eee who thought they were inconspicuous.
Anybody who tried acting up in there wouldn't be acting up for very long.
It confirms the sabotoge with other items, and you'll also see what Spielberg didn't put in the movie:
Schinder ARMED his Jews.
Funny about [some] wives.
Hubby had one gun cabinet full before we married. Now he has over 120. You see, I just adore him, and like to give him a gun on every anniversary. We were married on a Friday.
I'm looking for an Iver's Johnson, about 1912, .32 cal., not the hammerless, and it's just the trigger group + the hammer.
I always find .38s or hammerless .32s but never a .32 with a hammer.
I don't even care to ever fire it even if it was safe to do, but it's my great grandfather's pocket pistol so I'd like it to go click when I pull the trigger and have the hammer drop and the cylinder rotate.
