That Colt M1911 is perfect, as the hand grips can be customized to be replaced with pearl ones, which he would do. He also has the repair skill so that he can keep these pair of guns in top condition at all times.
Well, problem solved then, right?
Accepted as standard sidearm of the army in March, 1911:
Colt M1911 .45 ACP (damage 2d8, crit. x3, capacity 7, range 20 ft., multifire) $40
100 rounds .45 ACP $8.60
Customizing costs: For pearl handles around $15 for both. Fancy engraving double that.
[EDIT] Ah, I see you probably copied it from my sheet, including my mistake.
CoC d20 unifies the capacity of the M1911 down to 7.

wow the 38 sucks
I was paying attention to the discussions regarding the M1911 and I realized that a 38 special sucks by comparison. Average damage is 5.5 versus 9 for the other. Thats almost a 4 point difference. What advantage would carrying a 38 be other than "flavor?"
Is it more concealable or perhaps license-able?
I feel like I'm hanging myself if I stick to Papa O'shea's service revolver. Particularly if there is damage reduction in d20 CoC, where high average damage is so important.
And I agree, the die probably won't matter when we see a mythos creature, but against its minions...thats a different story.

In purely mechanical gameterms: none.
Frankly speaking, the whole damage scale is a bit out of whack. Certainly not one of the finer parts of the book.
[Edit: "Classic" CoC balanced the higher damage of the bigger calibers by giving the smaller ones a higher rate of fire.]
Since I come from the "old-school" CoC tradition where neither calibre nor damage of guns really matter, I simply went with the historical approach: The .38 Special is the archetypical police gun, so that was I gave you for Fanny's inherited revolver. The .45 Colt 1911 is the standard sidearm of the US Army, so I went with one of them for Anthony who is an former soldier, after all.

A little bit more about the Leica. (I just got off the phone/computer with my father and as it turned I'm not as smart I thought I'd be. So laugh at me, if you want. )
The original photo you used is indeed a Leica Ic, produced after 1930, which can be discerned by its rare Hektor lens (at least by my father). The one I offered and took for an Ia based on my grandmother's purchase of one in 1926 at the start of her career as a professional photographer is in fact a Leica Ib ("Compur-Leica"). Though generally considered to be a good deal less stylish than the Ia, it seemingly offered more options for a professional user. Apparently this made my grandmother choose it over the Ia.
According to him, the pic found below is now finally a real 1925 Leica Ia. And even better, my father also found an old catalogue with prices from those days. And thus it can now defintely be stated that $2.89 (for a box camera) is a bit too low - the Leica Ia cost 220 Reichsmark which are roundabout $ 55.

Wow, Douane, I just realized we are fellow countrymen! (Well, if I disregard my Spanish roots.)
Hi! N paar Infos zu meiner letzten Gaslight-Kampagne: http://wayfarer.myfreeforum.org/forum25.php
Magst Dir's vielleicht mal zu Gemüte führen!

Hallo!
Yes, indeed. (And now the german roots of my PC are duly explained.
) Nice to meet another German; it seems there are more and more of us here each day.

[EDIT] Aha, the old trick: Wait till's he typing, then start to edit your own post.
Nice, I'll definitely have a look. Never played the Gaslight-Era myself, unfortunately. I was usually stuck with (better) "roaring twenties" campaigns and (worse) "modern" campaigns.
