Don't feel bad embalmer, I had to sell off my collection some years back due to financial commitments that savings just would not cover including my younger sons college expenses. I had at one time, 14 ea Allied Armament 1919a4s (eight of which were bought on an end of run deal for just under $900 each!) including 2ea of their 18" 'Shorties', 2ea Ohio Rapid Fire a6s, an early OOW a4 (Serial #00081!), an Allied Armament 1917a1 and M37, MMC 1910 maxim, MMC MG13, 3ea MMC Madsens (really kicking myself for selling these!), SMG Guns DP28, DPM 7 MKII BREN, OOW 1918a3, Hedge Hog FN30 7 FN38! All gone now, and given my current financial situation with a modest retirement hopefully coming in four years combined with the fact that a lot of these manufactures have either closed down or moved on to other things, combined with the increase in prices and the general scarcity of parts kits means that there is little chance of getting to together my collection ever again short of winning the lottery, but that is life, easy come, hard go! The only thing I have been able to do to get something back together is to buy another 1918a3, which I'm hanging onto tenaciously, now if I only hadn't sold those 4000 rounds of ought 6! You do what you have to do.
P.S. I also had 3ea Breda 37 kits including the AA kit and two loaders, a really nice Breda 30 kit... and drum roll please, a nice Aussie Vickers kit with internals done by Lonnie Ingram including two lock assemblies! :jedicrying:
