Default 45 Colt Made for Skeeter Skelton by Smith & Wesson.
Hi
UP DATED WITH PICTURES ADDED OF BART SKELTON WITH SKEETERS GUN.

This is the rest of the story about a Gun Built for Skeeter Skelton in 1963.
About a couple months ago I got a call about a Very rare gun that was built for Skeeter. It is now in my collection and will be a part of the NRA display in May at Houston. The gun was built from a 4 screw Frame from about 1959, the frame had a serial number that had been used on a 44 Mag. It was most likely sent to the service dept. and got used to build the gun for Skeeter.
The gun is marked 25-2. I believe that it is the only 25-2 every built on a 4 screw frame. It was built with a 1950 45 Colt barrel cut by the factory to 4 inch with a ramp front sight.
It is a Great gun and I am very happy to have it for my collection.
enjoy the story and the pictures.

Hi
Well we are all packed up and ready to leave tomorrow we have had a very busy 4 days.
We have meet a lot of nice people and some special visitors.
We had Past president of the NRA at our booth to day, John Sigler. He spent time visiting and looking at the display. Also we had the 1st vice President of the NRA Allen Cors, both were very interested in the special guns on the display.
The Visitor that we enjoyed the most was Skeeter's Son Bart who came to see his dads gun. We spent a lot of time visiting with him and talking about his dad and he said that his mother will be thrilled to see the pictures of the display.
see pictures attached.
Jim & Judy
