It would have been very interesting to have seen Lone Wolf's extensive collection. Quite simply in addition to being a Texas Ranger, he was quite a collector as well. According to the book about his life he had between 500 and 600 hundred guns in his collection. I also saw a Remington Model 8 rifle that had been modified by Peace Officer Equipment Company in St.Joe,Mo.that was supposedly his. It was at the Rock Island auction several auctions back. It had a Thompson 21 type forward grip attached and his small "brand" on every part of the rifle. It was with the Bill Powell estate that was being auctioned. I could not absolutely establish ownership or I would have bid. kwill1911 of our forum helped at that time and he felt it was original, but while I really wanted it I held back.
