One hundred and eighty-two chapters are not just box guns

Seeing Jack and the old man selling guns meet, Gao Yang and the other three stopped talking.

The old man who was selling guns reached out to Jack, shook hands with Jack, pointed to his head, and smiled helplessly, "I'm old and have a bad memory. Sorry, I can't remember you."

Jack said anxiously: "It's okay, Mr. Federer, I want to know, why did you sell your collection? Didn't you claim to never sell your collection? If I knew you started selling, I would be very happy to buy all the collections you are willing to sell. Everyone knows that Mr. Federer's collection is fine."

Federer had no choice but to spread his hands and said, "My economy has some problems. If I want to continue collecting, I have to sell some of the collections. A gun dealer has visited me, but the prices they offered are too low. So, I want to try to sell them at the gun show at a reasonable price. It's very lucky. This gentleman just said he wanted to buy them all, but this gentleman had not had time to negotiate with me, so I don't know if the transaction could be really reached."

Gao Yang immediately said: "Mr. Federer, we are together, well, now I want to ask, how much do you plan to sell these guns?"

Federer thought for a moment, and after seeing a few guns at one time, he finally stretched out a palm and said in a deep voice: "Together, these are 50,000 US dollars."

Jack grinned. The gun was really expensive, too expensive. At the normal price, half of it was about 50,000 yuan, and even 25,000 yuan was not cheap.

There is something wrong with buying things from collectors. They buy collections because they like them. When they are forced to sell them, they will get an excessively high price after being added to their hobbies.

When you meet a rational buyer, you will naturally not buy guns with a high price, but when you meet a buyer like Gao Yang, it is different, and your feelings are. Federer believes that this batch of guns is worth a high price, and Gao Yang also believes that it is worth this price, which is enough.

"Is it $50,000? I bought it!"

After a little surprised look at Gao Yang, Federer nodded and said, "Are you sure you want all of them? Well, you can buy it. I'll sell it to you."

Cui Bo looked at Gao Yang at this time and said with a gaze: "Brother Yang, give me one, just one, please!"

Li Jinfang swallowed and said, "Brother Yang. I only need to have one handful of this, can I just choose this? You can choose it first. After you choose it, I will pay the money for you. Is this sincere enough?"

Looking at Gao Yang's disdain, Cui Bo immediately said to Federer: "Sir, do you have any other products here? Sell me a few?"

Li Jinfang also discovered it. It was impossible to snatch it from Gao Yang, so he immediately said to Federer: "And I, we have more than a few more of you."

Gao Yang had not spoken yet. Federer suddenly said, "Sorry, two gentlemen, can you tell me what these guns should be called in China?"

Cui Bo picked up a handful of hands and frowned and said, "It's called a box cannon, also called a shell gun. Oh, you don't understand it if I speak Chinese."

Federer shook his head and looked at Li Jinfang. After Li Jinfang scratched his head, he picked up a gun, weighed it, and frowned and said, "That's right, it's just a box cannon. We still call it box gun, and there's no other name."

Federer shook his head, pointed to Gao Yang, and said, "These guns can be fired. I have a private shooting range. If you want to test the gun, you can go to my shooting range. In addition, I have some guns for sale. If you are interested, you can go to me where to see it. If there is a gun you like, I may sell it to you."

Jack poked Gao Yang with excitement and shouted: "Mr. Federer is a collector who specializes in collecting Mauser 96. A big collector, you are lucky, no, you are lucky!"

Gao Yang, who was overjoyed, quickly said, "Great, thank you for your invitation, Mr. Federer, I am very willing to visit."

Federer smiled, reached out to Gao Yang, and then smiled as he shook his hands: "If I have to sell my beloved collection, then handing it over to someone who understands them and loves them is obviously the best ending. My name is Noble Federer, and I am very happy to know you."

Gao Yang smiled and said, "My name is Gao Yang, I am really happy to know you, Mr. Federer."

After letting go of his hand, Federer spread his hands at Choi Bo and Li Jinfang, and said helplessly: "Sorry, gentlemen, I can't sell the gun to you, because you are obviously not real collectors."

After saying that, Federer smiled at Gao Yang, then pointed to the guns in front of him and said, "Mr. Gao, I think you should tell them the correct name of these guns in China."

Gao Yang nodded, looked proud, picked up a gun and said, "See it, knowledge is power, no one will sell it to you without culture. Listen, this is called Big Eye Box, why is it called this? Because it has a caliber of 11.43 mm and has a large muzzle, it is called Big Eye Box. This was made by Taiyuan Arsenal when Yan Laoxi occupied Jin Province. Look here, the words are engraved. Although it is an imitation, the quality is quite good."

Cui Bo took it and said with a puzzled look: "What about these differences?"

Gao Yang shook his head, picked up another handful, and shouted: "Look at this, this is called a large mirror, why is it called a large mirror? Because the two sides of the magazine are bright and flat, nothing is carved, and it looks like a mirror, so it is called a large mirror.

Let’s look at this again, Dahong Nine, why is it called Dahong Nine? I saw this red 9 on the grip. This is 9mm caliber. After the World War Germany changed part of Mauser to 9mm caliber. In order to distinguish it, I imitated the wrong bullet and carved a red 9 on the grip.

Li Jinfang shook his head and said, "I really don't know that there are so many differences between box cannons. What about this one? There are words on it, and it is also made from China, right?"

Gao Yang nodded and smiled and said, "Yes, this is called Zilaide. Why? This is also an imitation of the m712 from the Hanyang Arsenal in China. It has twenty rounds of loading and automatic pistols. The gun has a Zilaide pistol engraved, so the real Zilaide is only the one you hold."

After saying that, Gao Yang sighed and said, "When talking about the m712, we have to start from the beginning. The 96 that came out in 1895 was basically ten semi-automatic pistols with fixed magazines. Later, in 1931, the Mauser Factory improved 96 and produced twenty modified versions of the removable magazines, which is the m712. Before the m712 was released, there was no box cannon that could be fired continuously. After the Hanyang Arsenal in China introduced drawings and other things, it began to imitate in 32 years. The batch of imitations was called Zilaide. Do you understand?"

Li Jinfang nodded and said, "I really don't know that there are so many more. Now I know, what about this? What is this called?"

Gao Yang glanced at it and said, "This is called Big Belly Box, which is also a twenty-round magazine. Because it has loaded many bullets, it is called Big Belly Box. It's right to call it twenty-point sounds, that's the same thing."

Choi Bo held a gun and said, "Where is this?"

Gao Yang smiled and said, "This is called the Twenty-Star long tube mirror. This gun was produced in Spain. Although it is twenty-shot loading, it is a fixed magazine that cannot be disassembled. The sides of the magazine are also very smooth, so it is called the Twenty-Star long tube mirror. Let me teach you a trick. The German Mauser basically produces short barrels. Although there are also long barrels, it is very rare. So, the ones that see the long barrels are imitated, and generally they will not be wrong."

After saying that, Gao Yang looked at Federer and said with a smile: "Mr. Federer, what I know is actually very limited. It just so happens that the few guns here are quite representative, and I can still recognize them, but I don't know if what I said is wrong. If so, please correct me."

Federer shrugged and smiled, "I know there are various names for these guns in China, so it is almost impossible for me to understand all the names. Fortunately, the few guns here are indeed more common, so I still know it, and what you said is the same as what I know, and what you said is very correct."

Cui Bo sighed and said, "Okay, don't snatch it, I'm embarrassed to snatch it, Brother Yang, it's all yours."

Li Jinfang also put down the gun in his hand with regret and said helplessly: "I don't know that there are so many things to pay attention to in a box cannon. Brother Yang should know the goods, so you can keep them well."

At this time, Federer spread his hands and smiled at Gao Yang, "If you buy them all, then my gun will be sold out. After completing the procedures, I will leave. If you have nothing else, you can go to my house with me. If you have something else, you can call me when it is convenient, and I will wait any time."

Gao Yang could not wait any longer and immediately said, "We will go with you. It's not too late to come back after seeing your collection."

Federer nodded and turned to find the form to be filled in by Gao Yang. At this time, Jack smiled at Gao Yang and said, "Do you know, you like Mauser 96, then you are the right person today. Mr. Federer should be the biggest player in collecting this gun, and there is a reason why he ended 96. Do you know why?"

Gao Yang thought for a moment, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed and said anxiously: "Mr. Federer, Mr. Federer, Mauser 96 was designed by the three brothers of Federer. However, when the patent was finally applied for, it was applied in the name of Mauser, the owner of Mauser Arsenal. Could it be that Mr. Federer is a descendant of the three brothers of Federer, the real designer of Mauser 96?"

Jack smiled slightly and said, "Congratulations, you answered correctly." (To be continued)
