WTT: 1920s gangster guns, .22 etc.

Recently moved some of my private C&R collection over to my "trade pool". Looking to pick up an AK Draco pistol or perhaps an underfolder. Open to other trades potentially depending on what you have.

Available for trade is this rather unique historical curiosity: A 1920s vintage violin case containing a 2nd Model .38 Cal Iver Johnson Safety Automatic revolver circa 1909 and an early twenties John Browning patent designed Riverside Arms 12 gauge pump shotgun that has been sawn off. (The shotgun has an overall length over 26 inches and the barrel is 18.25 inches in length, narrowly avoiding a title II NFA classification).

The Iver Johnson is unique in that it has the more scarce factory optional blued finish and the trademark owl's head faces away from the barrel. The shotgun, with the exception of its slightly longer barrel, is identical to the one found in the possesion of the Barrow Gang (I.e. Bonnie & Clyde et al) currently on display at the Texas Ranger Museum.

I also have a 1960s Stevens Model 887 tube-fed .22 rifle manufactured by Savage Arms. The gun is in absolutely beautiful condition. These guns were the most reliable and quality .22s out there in my opinion prior to the standard set by the Ruger 10/22. It is better built than modern production 10/22s, but most of these that are still around are rust buckets. This model has a unique sear/action similar to open bolt - the slide is held to the rear with the next round in the extractor and does not release and chamber until the trigger is completely released after each shot. If you hold the trigger down it will keep the action open until you let go. Would include the pictured scope and rifle hard case. The charging handle also serves as a locking pin allowing you to lock the action open, a rather handy feature.
