While you're waiting...


For my sorry ass to come up with another Friday-based theme, here's a compact 1911 by Llama, the Spanish gunmaker. It's not a Colt, even though it's a clone, and it's a fine shooter. .45 ACP.

Old coins 2


This old coin is a Spanish 4 maravedis with a lion on the obverse and a castle on the reverse. It was probably minted out of brass or bronze between 1621 and 1625. Not as sexy as silver reales or gold dubloons, but still cool, right?
