First that i purchased myself was an Italian Beretta 92fs, inox. I don't remember it being called inox. Use to travel for work in the early 2000's. Some POS broke into my house and it was one of the items taken.
Colt Official Police .38, built in 1937. Barrel had been cut, cylinder ratchet was broke and the frame was pitted. My uncle gave it to me when I was 12. After I joined the LAPD and got a job in the firearms unit, I decided to see what could be done with it; I had it rebuilt with a new cylinder, 5" barrel, new firing pin, etc. One of the LAPD armorers there was Harry Davis, who had more experience on Colt revolvers than most of the Colt folks. In those days (early '80's), the LAPD had tons of revolver parts, so parts were free. Harry charged me 2 cheeseburgers, fries (well done) and a Coke to rebuild my Colt and tune the action. After shooting it and getting a perfect point of aim/point of impact, I sent it back to Colt. I had a good bud in the custom shop so Colt refinished my Official Police in royal blue, like a Python (free). Finish was flawless, all pitting gone and a new pony stamped on the frame. I have the original stocks for it, but I like the Pachmayrs for shooting (also free, from a big box of grips in the Armory). As you can see, the gun is a superb shooter with .38 factory wadcutters. Looks pretty good, too. And yes, I still have it.

Guess it would be a P-38 my uncle sent home from WWII. !st I bought was a SCHMIDT M1882 at Monkey Ward on open table in middle of store for $19.95. Still have it, but can't buy shells for it. At same time bought a British 303 off another table for $19.95 also. Surplus.
