Who has got the earliest Scorpion pistol ?

[ggggr]

Dunno how old this is but it had been left in a fishing basket for fifteen years when it was brought to me a few years ago, it had siezed up and couldn't be cocked
I freed it with compressed air, there was grease in there that had turned to a similar state to plastic!!!

Scorpion 1

Scorpion 2

I had to make a new buffer as the plazzie one had crumbled and a spacer of ice cream carton!!
New leather buffer

For the benefit of Red Bob, the pics above are the ones that closest resemble the condition of my favourite Scorpion, except I have a rear sight and cocking aid but no cover for the bottom of the pistol grip. AND I would not swap it for a boxed one
