A Ruger and a couple of Colts.

6 inches of awesome. Born in 1929.
Not exactly the best lighting :-(
I just picked up this Colt Detective Special. It's by all evidence a WWII military purchase...square butt which was a military specification...serial number in the correct range...prick punch mark under the barrel...what appears to be the "flaming bomb" ordnance acceptance mark. I've already ordered a Colt Archives letter for verification but the evidence so far leads me to believe it was used by either the Counter-Intelligence Corps or Army CID. It's remotely possible it went to the OSS but that's doubtful. It was priced as a standard Detective Special of that era so I think I made a nice score.
I'm eager to know what the Colt Archives letter says! Regardless, that's a damn nice DS.

It's the first Archives letter I've ordered I felt justified in paying the extra for expedited service. I think I'll be doing the happy dance when I receive it.
I'll report back what it says...good or bad.
