My search for Gaddafi's golden gun

24" and less, a place to discuss all things handgun related, section 7.3. Long barrelled revolvers, long barrelled pistols and section 5. Overseas contributions are more than welcome.

My search for Gaddafi's golden gun

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-35466077

The Hi Power taken from Col Gaddafi tracked down.

Wonder what it would fetch in a US auction.

Believe they were priced around $4k new.

Remember my local gun shop (Range Supplies Glasgow - Bruce Waugh) had a Silver Renaissance version for sale in the mid eighties for £1,500.

I had a Browning Hi-Power many moons ago. Great pistols. It wasn't quite as nice as that one, though. :cry:

Worked there for a while some decades back

Always liked the Asprey ones.

My favourite GP35 was the Practical with the two tone finish & Pachmayr grips
