Moo! Honestly I should do a sell off. My life situation is not really going to mean much related to guns for some time now sadly. I'll let you know first if those go on the chopping block.

Batch Two Of Photos: Picture 1: That logo shows signs of dishing, its certainly been obscured. Looks very refinished in that picture. Picture 5: Deep gouges behind the hammer, on the frame there, they are filled in with blue and appear to be somewhat rounded. Looks like damage from before the...

The gun looks re-finished. Probably a high quality factory job though. The grips also don't fit it right, replacement?

I think mine is this weird Smith & Wesson:

I would say one example I know of for sure is the "Keith No. 5". My 1920 factory modified "Keith No. 5" for example: Is the job he described in the last word. The factory work order even talks about fitting an SAA front strap. Keith never mentions this gun even though it predates his...

A 1911 that was Elmer Keith's I think pretty much everything I ever figured out about it was in there. It's funny looking back on it now that this gun was a "consolation prize". I really wanted his double Triple Lock w/ Kearsarge Stocks rig. But alas that was not to be with the shallowness of...

My only Elmer Autograph isn't on a book.

Sure. Why not.

Oh man, I have so many of those at this point. A lot of them don't fare very well, at least the ones on heavy glass, the smaller ones seem to be largely in good shape. I've been scrapping some of the ones that aren't really fixable in my videos there. They are interesting in that they have...

That's what I thought when I bought it, but nope the auction house had lost the factory receipt for the upgrades and sent it a while after I bought the gun. If anything Keith's #5 is a copy of *it*: And the earliest iteration I can find of the "Keith No. 5" idea is a reference to one being...

Reading through this thread you guys have some amazing watches. I feel like my little pile of thrift shopped watches just can't compare, but I am having a lot fun with them because man, watches are just too good. I've been trying to put together videos on the watches I have, thought you guys...

The videos are progressing, I would imagine some of you may enjoy this. Actually getting to show and talk about it on a video really steps things up a bit from mere pictures. IYKKc1gcLH4 I really wish I could do it with gun content, but the last time I did that my videos kind of exploded and...

I will never not be upset that Colt had the perfect SAA design in 1920 and didn't bother to produce it. As good as it looks its even *better* to shoot. A couple things about it that aren't immediately obvious. In addition to the awesome upgraded grip, they also set the trigger forward. If you...

Hah, you mean the 1911 that was used to shoot a bunch of germans in ww1, was owned by a man who was assassinated on an elk hunting trip because he found something in the books and had to be silenced, and then Elmer Keith kept it for himself? And that $150 reg mag is definitely something I have...

Bunch of them, but the foremost would probably be: It's a Colt New Service with D.W. King work including those "speed holes" as part of a worked over action, a ramped red square post rear sight, with a "Super Police" rear sight. The engraving is helpfully explained by a letter to (and...
