Gee Mike,

I love the concept of similar gun pairings. And it's obvious that you've focused your collecting on the scarce target models. Quite an accomplishment. I've not seen so many early targets in one place before.

The 3" 19s are particularly interesting. I notice the round butt also has the relieved trigger guard as Roy described in the letter, so in essence you have an exact specimen of not only a rare revolver but one exactly like the presentation model to Roy.

It also hadn't occurred to me how traditional, what we call pintos today, actually are. I kinda' prefer the term 'Traditional' finish as applied to two tone guns, more than pinto.

Thanks for the 'show'.
