Thought perhaps a group photo of some vest pocket & pocket pistols with their factory boxes would be of interest to Site members.

The H&R .32 Self-Loading is about as complete as it gets and the pistol condition is exceptional.
The Browning is quite interesting. Pistol condition is nothing to write home about, but the outfit has the original factory manual, warranty card......AND......the original sales receipt from Goodman's for Guns, St. Louis, dated 9-8-56. Pistol sold for $29.95 and a box of cartridges was $3.60, tax was $.67 cents

Sorry about the blur in bottom center of photo, one of my dogs got ahold of my camera and put a major scratch in the lens.

Jim,

Thank you for the kind reply. The H&R's are excellent examples and are among the center pieces of the collection.
A question for you, have you encountered or aware of factory paperwork for the .25 Self-Loading similar to the .32 Self-Loading?

Francis,
I have only ever seen one (1) .25 Self-loader with box and YES it did have a pamphlet with it. That was a few years back - before I could afford to buy it - fat years are over - I couldn't afford to buy it now, either. LOL.
Nice collection

Jim,

Thank you, perhaps some day I'll locate the .25 S-L paperwork.

It has been said that the fun is in the chase.
