Thanks for all the kind words. I used to do some professional work quite a few years ago. I still enjoy playing around with a camera and the digital ones are a whole lot more fun... instant images no waiting for processing! Really haven't thought about a calendar, but it might be fun.
Here's another shot I took a month or so ago... not a Smith but a 1918 COLT .45 m1911. I picked up a couple of boxes of WWI ammo last summer while in Florida at a small gun shop.
The only "vintage leather" here is a WWI trench watch with vintage leather strap!
