Thanks guys!
As far as I know they are original guns, they do not look like replicas. I only got to see them for a bit today. A friend of mine's father collected military items including some guns. I'll try and load a couple of pics I took with my phone tomorrow. I should be able to go and take more pics. My friends dad passed away unfortunately before I could talk to him about them. He told me he'd sell them to me at market value -10%. They appear to be the real deal and are not in pieces, I assume they have been decommissioned.
What I'd like to do is buy them, mold them, and them sell casts to cover my purchase costs.
Hey Bill, glad to see a 70th explorer here! Still haven't finished my TD! (taking forever)
Thanks and will try and get more info soon,
