Newbie here with a few pics.....

Post by Villafuego »

Great forum guys.......I'm not a hardcore collector, but for the past 15 or 20 years, I've picked up older automatics when I stumble across them.

I've got a few older 11's and 13's in a box somewhere I still need to dig out, but here are a few to start with.......
Image
Image

L to R....a 10 1/2" Rizzuto, a 10 3/4" Italian bolster-release, an 8 1/2" Rizzuto, Imperial Candy Stripe, and a Colonial Shur-Snap

The Big Rizzuto Tang.......marked "Pastor Aleman....Stainless Steel" with a faint German Shepard in Circle logo.......this knife sits deep and fires hard......
Image

Small Rizzuto blade.......I paid 5.00 for it, missing the spring, at a flea market in Webster,FL.....made one from stainless wire....A nice knife, but the front bolsters are a tad loose.....apart from the spring replacement, I've decided to leave it as is.......
Image

The Colonial......for some odd reason, I like this knife more than the rest.....
Image

The Italian bolster release 10 3/4"......can anyone help me date this?......I bought it in the mid 90's....I was thinking 1960's or 70's.........

Very nice! I love the Rizzutos, especially the "Pastor Aleman". I have the same one only with white scales, and it's one of my favorites. It's the one in my avatar picture on the right 8) Welcome to the forum!
