History lesson of a handgun

[handengraver]

This is a Hungarian version of the popular Walther PPK. It was manufactured in the early sixties, and there is a very slight chance that it was in the pocket of the officer who interrogated me as a dissident in the old country in 1964. Now I own the gun, and I took my revange by engraving it. The circle is complete.

Very nice work.

Revenge is sweet isn't it.

I'm sure this was more fun than being interrogated.

Like they say......"Don't get mad....get even"

Revenge is sweet. Nice job.

Well, to be fair I think you would (at least now) qualify as a dissident.

I mean look what you did to that perfectly servicable pistol - you've gone and improved the heck out of it!

Just goes to show they were right in looking for you, they just didn't realize they were looking for something they needed.

:thumbs up:

Dear Friends,

I thank You All for your words of encouragement, and for compassionately judging my work by not viewing its several shortcomings, but valuing my enthusiasm for our Craft.

I am ever grateful for your generousity, may God bless You All, and favor our quest for beauty.

Greetings - Ivan
