Jesse emailed in these photos taken by his brother at the Tower of London. I have never seen photos of these guns before. My favorite is the revolver.

SIG ~~P220~~ P226 (incorrectly labeled by the museum)

Smith & Wesson Model 586 . Note the diamonds on cylinder, cylinder release and front sight.

Sterling submachine gun

Browning Hi-Power

It is sad that some of these guns were confiscated by the police from enthusiasts.

[ Many thanks to Jesse and his brother for the photos. ]
