Default My best Triple-Lock...

In the autumn of 2016 I was fortunate enough to acquire an important historical set of firearms, carbine and revolver which belonged to the legendary lawman Tom Threepersons. Generally regarded as one of the last of the “old western gunfighters”, Threepersons had a long and varied career in law enforcement, primarily along the southern border, with additional service as a scout during the Punitive Expedition to Mexico. He served in several positions in El Paso, as well as the federal prohibition enforcement service.

Both the Winchester 94 carbine and the S&W 1st Model Hand-Ejector “Triple Lock” .44 date to 1915 and were likely purchased by Threepersons at this time. Sold to well known local gun collector and saloon owner Tom Powers in 1929 when Threepersons retired from law enforcement, both guns show extensive surface wear accumulated during a relatively short period of active service. Both remain “like new” mechanically and internally and were well cared for.

In an interview following publication of an article stating that he had killed 20 men, Threepersons responded that he had never “told a living soul as to how many men I’ve killed. That is an unpleasant memory that few officers like to recall.” According to a letter he wrote later in life, “I have never had any desire to be placed in a class with Wild Bill Hickok, Billy the Kid, or any of the so-called Western bad men. My desire was and still is to be classed as a respectable officer of the law and its enforcement. I did my duty to the best of my ability, as I was sworn to do, and that was all.”

The revolver and carbine came without accessories - the other pictured items are not connected to TTP but made for better photos....

I love them both. The S&W TL and the Winchester.
I'll wager that those were not cheaply bought.

I was hoping you saw this thread. You can now definitively confirm the answer of your question for the exact barrel length of Tom's Triple Lock 44 and confirm the 6 1/2" listed in the letter.

My friend Red told me about this thread this morning and I'm really glad
he did. I might have missed it. Really great presentation of important
historical artifacts. Good job and thank you for posting it.

We were discussing whether Tom was the last great gunfighter from the
Old West or the first great gunfighter from the modern gunfighters.
I think we settled on first of the modern, but then in reality he was
both the last and the first, if we consider the turn of the 20th Century
as the dividing point in history.

What a wonderful glimpse into the life of this legendary lawman. I thought of Red and Phil right away when I stumbled on this thread this morning. Glad they have already been there.

Thank you for sharing this treasure with us!

Best Regards, Les

Many thanks for all of the kind words, fellas. I've been fortunate enough to stumble across some really great old firearms, but these are amongst "the best" and I am thrilled to care for them. I have fired the TL and WILL fire the 94 when the schedule eases up a bit.

I love the old Smiths, and to have the handgun/rifle pair is an incredible find. I have a 3XX Triple Lock, same caliber and configuration, and it's long been a favorite.
Good shooting,
Will
