Working on this, know it doesn't show really a lot of detail and generic. The plan is to develop it out into a full family with a thin to this being the heavy. We will see how it goes. I have all the uppercase sketched out but need to do lowercase which will be hell.
My recently acquired Walther PPK .32 ACP pistol.
Just for the curious, PPK stands for Polizei Pistole Kriminal Modell or Police Pistol Detective Model. It was first issued in 1931 in 7.65mm (.32 ACP) and made to be used for undercover police work. They were also issued to German military police, Luftwaffe and Nazi Party members during WWII. Hitler committed suicide with his PPK. Also famous for being James Bond's sidearm.
Most PPKs in the US were made under license by INTERARMS or Smith & Wesson (which is who made this PPK) due to laws on importing firearms this small.
(Note: This is a PPK and not a PPK/S, which uses a larger frame to hold an extra round of ammo)

First French compact car equipped with a six-speed gearbox, the 306 S16 was presented in 1996. The press was waiting for the little Peugeot which disappointed in its first slightly underpowered sporty version. This time, the engineers from Sochaux were very inspired by equipping the 306 with the fabulous XU10J4RS engine coupled to a new 6-speed gearbox. The performances were finally there and a commercial success soon followed.
The model presented here is without doubt the most known 306 S16 in France, appearing in many specialized magazines. Its specific Vermeer Yellow color, its opening roof and its phase 1 configuration make it a real rarity. This car was sold new in the Paris region by the Darl’mat dealership in December 1996 to an aeronautical engineer who kept it until 2017, when the current owner bought it after having simply seen the car in a gas station. When he bought it, some work was done to be able to drive it serenely: replacement of the clutch, the timing belts and accessories as well as the connecting rods. Our test drive will reveal a car in great shape and ready to swallow miles of small roads. Today the odometer shows 176 000 original km and all documents are present, such as booklets and invoices.

Architect: James Herbert Brownell (1962)
Developer: Pearce & Co.
Builder: Fergin-Griffin Co.
Location: San Diego (Pacific Beach), CA
Brownell was an architect based in Corona Del Mar, just up the road in Orange County. These sixteen homes demonstrate an ingenious solution to a series of narrow, sloping lots with views on one side. The solution was to build them as row homes, and push them as far up the hill as possible to maximize the views.
This is from an ad that appeared in the local newspaper at the time.
Compacted trash. Here is the problem. I thought that bag was the bag I needed. It was NOT. This was from earlier. The trash gets pushed I of the dumpster and the. Shoved as hard as possible. Older trash is not as destroyed as it’s moved up and falls over. The bag I am looking for is completely smushed and buried in trash. But I had to find it.
Of all my super-compact 35mm cameras the Olympus is by far my favourite! It is the only one with a proper rangefinder, just like a Leica! Even though these cameras all have semi wide-angle lenses, depth-of-field at f2.8 is still narrow enough to make accurate focusing necessary, so having a rangefinder means the lens can be used wide open with confidence.
Plus the XA has aperture priority automatic exposure for an ideal compromise between convenience and control, a beautiful lens, and really convenient capsual styling with no need for a lens cap, all fitted into tiny dimensions! Can you imaging a full-frame digital compact this small?!?!
Porst compact-reflex with Porst Color Reflex Auto MC 1.4/55 G
My first "modern" M42-SLR from Porst, the Porst compact-reflex, which is Cosina CSM. This copy is only named compact-reflex, but there many cameras with a further identifier, like S, SP, AM, OC, OCN, OE, OS, OV and probably some more. It would be painful to assign those cameras to the specific Cosina model, but I think the camera above and the S/SP have M42 thread mount, the others Pentax K-mount.
For sure it is no high-end camera, but it's fine. Full electronical shutter from 4 s to 1/1000 s and one mechanical time, 1/50 s. The self-timer also looks mechanical but it works completely electronically, you can't cock it until the shutter is cocked or in position "B", and it is combined with a mirror lock-up. Viewfinder with split-screen and illuminated under/over indicator for exposure metering. Yes, the metering is a bit different compared with other cameras, where you have to stop down for metering with a DOF-button which also switches the meter on. When you press the shutter button half-way on this camera, the aperture closes and the meter is switched on. If you release the shutter again, the meter is switched off, but the aperture stay closed. If you want to open the aperture again, you have to press the silver "aperture release button" next to the lens. It's easy to confuse this button with a DOF-button. It's a clever operation, better than the one on some old Chinon cameras, where you have to close the aperture with the force of your finger via the shutter buttton.
The 207 Compact was a facelifted 206, in Europe it was called 206+. It was made in Argentina and France, but we got the french one, except for some versions with petrol engines.
The Sandugo was a blood compact, performed in the island of Bohol in the Philippines, between the Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna the chieftain of Bohol on March 16, 1565, to seal their friendship as part of the tribal tradition. This is considered as the first treaty of friendship between the Spaniards and Filipinos. "Sandugo" is a Visayan word which means "one blood".
