Chapter 1182 It's more than just a box cannon
Seeing that Jack and the old man selling guns got to know each other, Gao Yang and the three of them stopped talking.
The old man selling the gun stretched out his hand to Jack, shook Jack's hand, pointed to his head, and said with a helpless smile: "I'm old, my memory is not very good, I'm sorry I can't remember you." β
Jack said urgently: "It's okay, Mr. Federer, I want to know why you would sell your collection, don't you claim that you will never sell your collection? If I knew that you were starting to sell, I would really be very happy to buy the one you are willing to sell, as everyone knows, Mr. Federer's collection is a fine one." β
Federer spread his hands helplessly, and said: "I have some financial problems, if I want to continue to collect, I have to sell part of the collection, some gun dealers have gone to me to see, but their prices are too low, so, I want to come to the gun show to see if I can sell it at a price that I think is reasonable, very lucky, this gentleman just said that he wants to buy them all, but this gentleman has not had time to negotiate with me about the price, so I don't know if the deal can really be reached." β
Gao Yang immediately said: "Mr. Federer, we are together, hmm, now I want to ask, how much are you going to sell these guns?"
Federer pondered for a moment, and after looking at a few guns at once, he finally stretched out a palm and said in a deep voice: "Together, fifty thousand dollars." β
Jack grinned, this gun is indeed expensive, too expensive, according to the normal price, 50,000 cut in half is about the same, even 25,000 is not cheap.
It's not good to buy things from collectors, they buy them because they like them, and when they are forced to sell them. will be added to their hobbies after dΓΉ. To ask for an excessively high price.
Meet sane buyers. Naturally, I won't buy guns with too many high prices, but when I meet a buyer like Gao Yang, it's different, feelings, Federer thinks that these guns are worth a high price, and Gao Yang also thinks that they are worth this price, so that's enough.
"Fifty thousand dollars, yes?
After a somewhat surprised glance at Gao Yang, Federer nodded. "Are you sure you want it all?" Okay, you can buy it, I'll sell it to you." β
Cui Bo looked at Gao Yang at this time, and said with a blank eye: "Brother Yang, give me a handful, just a handful, please!"
Li Jinfang swallowed and said, "Brother Yang, this, this, I just need a handful, can I?" You're done picking it up for us, and I'll give you the money out. That's not sincere enough. β
Seeing Gao Yang's disdain, Cui Bo immediately said to Federer: "Sir, do you have anything else to sell here, sell me a few?"
Li Jinfang also found out that it was impossible to snatch it from Gao Yang, so he immediately said to Federer: "And me, we want as much as you have." β
Gao Yang hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Federer suddenly said: "I'm sorry, two gentlemen, can you tell what these guns should be called in Huaxia?"
Cui Bo picked it up and frowned: "It's called a box gun, it's also called a shell gun, hey, you don't understand it when I say Chinese." β
Federer shook his head and looked at Li Jinfang, after Li Jinfang scratched his head, he picked up a gun, checked it, and frowned: "That's right, it's a box gun, we also call it a box gun, there is no other name." β
Federer shook his head, pointed at 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 to try it, in addition, I have some guns for sale, if you are interested, you can go to my place to see, if there is a gun you like, I may sell it to you." β
Jack stabbed Gao Yang excitedly, and said loudly: "Mr. Federer is a collector specializing in Mauser C96, big collector, you are lucky, no, you are too lucky!"
Overjoyed, Gao Yang hurriedly said: "Great, thank you for the invitation, Mr. Federer, I am very willing to visit." β
Federer smiled, extended his hand to Goyan, and then smiled as he shook hands: "If I have to sell my beloved collections, then it is obviously the best ending to hand them over to someone who understands them and loves them, my name is Norbert Federer, and it is a pleasure to meet you." β
Gao Yang smiled, "My name is Gao Yang, and I'm really happy to meet you, Mr. Federer." β
After letting go of his hand, Federer spread his hands at Cui Bo and Li Jinfang, and said helplessly: "Sorry, gentlemen, I can't sell the gun to you, because you are obviously not real collectors." β
After finishing speaking, 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 names of these guns in Huaxia." β
Gao Yang nodded, with a proud face, picked up a gun and said: "See, knowledge is power, no one will sell it to you if you are not educated, listen to it, this is called the Big Eye Box, why is it called this name, because it is 11.43 mm caliber, the muzzle is large, it is called the Big Eye Box, this is when Yan Laoxi occupied Jin Province, Taiyuan Arsenal made, look here, engraved words, although it is imitated, but the quality is quite good." β
Cui Bo took it and said with a puzzled expression: "What about these differences?"
Gao Yang shook his head, picked up another handful, and said loudly: "Look at this, this is called a big mirror, why is it called a big mirror, because the two sides of this magazine are bright and flat, nothing is engraved, and it looks like a mirror, so it is called a big mirror."
Look at this again, the big red nine, why is it called the big red 9, see the red 9 on the grip, this is 9 mm caliber, Germany changed part of the Mauser to 9 mm caliber after the First World War, in order to distinguish it, imitate the wrong bullet, on the grip engraved a red 9. β
Li Jinfang shook his head and said, "I really don't know that there are so many differences between the box cannon, so what about this, there are words on it, and it is also made in Huaxia, right?"
Gao Yang nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, this is called Zilaide, why, this is also an imitation of the M712 of the Hanyang Engineer Factory in Huaxia, twenty rounds of ammunition, automatic pistol, and the body of the gun is engraved with the Zilai pistol, so the real Zilaide is only the one you are holding in your hand." β
After finishing speaking, Gao Yang sighed and said, " Speaking of this M712, I have to start from the beginning, the C96 that came out in 1895 is basically a semi-automatic pistol with a fixed magazine of ten rounds, and later in 1931, the Mauser factory improved the C96 and produced an improved version of the 20-round detachable magazine, which is the M712, before the advent of the M712, there was no box gun that could fire continuously, and after the Hanyang Arsenal in China introduced the drawings or something, it began to be imitated in 32, and the batch of imitations was called Zilaide, understand?"
Li Jinfang nodded and said, "I really didn't know that there were so many Dao, but now I know, what about this, what is this called." β
Gao Yang glanced at it and said: "This is called a pot-bellied box, and it is also a twenty-round magazine, just because it is loaded with a lot of bullets, it is called a big-bellied box, and it is right to call it twenty rounds, one thing." β
Cui Bo held a gun and said, "What about this?"
Gao Yang said with a smile: "This is called a twenty-ring long-barreled mirror, this gun is from Spain, although it is twenty rounds of ammunition, but the fixed magazine cannot be disassembled, and the two sides of the magazine are also very smooth, so it is called a twenty-ring long-barreled mirror, and I will teach you a trick, this German Mauser is basically a short barrel, although there are also long barrels, but there are very few, so what you see is that the long barrel is imitated, and it is generally not wrong." β
After finishing speaking, Gao Yang looked at Federer and said with a smile: "Mr. Federer, I know very little, it just so happens that several guns here are more representative, I can still recognize them, but I don't know if what I said is wrong, if so, please correct it." β
Federer shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I know that there are various names for these guns in Huaxia, so it is almost impossible for me to understand all the names, but fortunately, a few guns here are indeed more common, so I still know, and what you said is the same as what I know, you are very right." β
Cui Bo sighed and said, "Yes, if you don't rob it, I'm embarrassed to rob it, Brother Yang, it's all yours." β
Li Jinfang also put down the gun in his hand with a regretful face, and said helplessly: "How do I know that a box cannon is so exquisite, or Brother Yang knows the goods, you should collect it well." β
At this time, Federer spread his hands and smiled at Gao Yang: "If you buy them all, then my guns will be sold out, and I will leave after completing the formalities, if you have nothing else to do, you can follow me to my house to have a look, if you still have something to do, then you can call me at a convenient time, I will be waiting at any time." β
Where can Gao Yang wait, he immediately said: "We will go with you, and it will not be too late to come back after seeing your collection." β
Federer nodded, turned around and went to find the form for Gao Yang to fill out, at this time Jack smiled at Gao Yang: "You know buddy, you like the Mauser C96, then you can be regarded as the right person today, Mr. Federer should be the biggest player in the collection of this gun, and he ended the C96 for a reason, do you know why?"
After thinking for a moment, Gao Yang suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said urgently: "Mr. Federer, Mr. Federer, the Mauser C96 was designed by the three Federer brothers, but when the patent was finally applied, it was applied for in the name of Mauser, the owner of the Mauser Arsenal, could it be that this Mr. Federer is the descendant of the three Federer brothers, the real designers of the Mauser C96?"
Jack smiled slightly and said, "Congratulations, you got it right." (To be continued......)
