Agreed. Jelly had buckets and barrels of guns and gear. Unfortunately, many went to the winds after his death, others destroyed in a fire years ago. Still trying to track down his famous "Lucky Gun" Third Model HE .44 Special...

Sorry to hear about the box, Eddie. I know it meant something to you, obviously. Nice that you were able to salvage the tray, at least. One of my uncles had an Arisaka rifle he brought back from WW2 service. He had three daughters, not a one interested in guns of any type. I loved that old...

FBI Era Holster Pic Quality of image not very good but best I have from this era. Registered Magnum used in image.

Hello All: I recently posted this pic on another Jelly Bryce holster thread but wanted to post as a new thread as well so everyone can find it. The hunt for a clear photo (of at least one of Jelly's holsters) is, thanks to Jelly's Grandson, at long last finally over. Any thoughts/info any of...

Beautiful work!

Must be a brother from another mother... Yeah, not me, my friend! But thanks for the thought! Best The other Mike Conti (The one without the retractable bayonet*.) *Not sure if I like the sound of that, actually... :)

And here it is... One of 'em, at least! Finally finally finally able to post a clear picture of Jelly's holster, courtesy of his Grandson, who has been of immeasurable help in the quest for more info on his famous Grandpa.

You're much too kind, Gentlemen. Appreciate the support! Best regards, Mike

Not likely Jimmy. Jelly left a sizable estate when he passed. I have also heard that his funeral in Mountain View was one of the biggest ever in that town. Standing room only and filled with family, friends, and lawmen from all over.

Good point! It would just be nice to know that old pistol was still intact somewhere out there in the world.

Still no word on where in the world Jelly's "Lucky Gun" may be. I agree with Ghost Magnum that it should be in a museum somewhere. I'd personally like to see it in the NRA National Firearms Museum in Fairfax. They do a great job preserving and displaying the artifacts they have there. I don't...

Thanks very much, my friend, and please pass along my regards to the retired Agent. Regards, Mike

Thanks, Charlie! I'm humbled by your kind words, my friend. If you ordered one of my books, Ghost, I hope you enjoy it! If you ordered Ron Owens' biography of Jelly, I know you'll enjoy it! All the best to you both, Gentlemen. Regards, Mike

http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-hand-ejectors-1896-1961/425806-jelly-bryce-lucky-gun-photo.html?highlight=jelly+bryce Link to thread with only known image of Jelly's 3rd Model of 1926 HE aka "Lucky Gun."

Great question! I'm assuming you're referring to his .44 Special "Lucky Gun." Family states unknown. Possibly sold off years ago after Jelly died. Maybe in a private collection of someone who knows what he or she has. Maybe not. Maybe will surface in a pawn shop or gun shop one day. Right...

Back-up on the Way! Hello Chuck: Seems Jelly got in a tussle on the way. A little banged up, but he made it anyway--natch! I'll be sending out a replacement copy this week. No worries, my friend. And thanks to everyone for the kind words and support. Much appreciated, folks. Best regards, Mike

The Guy in the Glass THE GUY IN THE GLASS by Dale Wimbrow, (c) 1934 When you get what you want in your struggle for pelf, And the world makes you King for a day, Then go to the mirror and look at yourself, And see what that guy has to say. For it isn't your Father, or Mother, or Wife, Who...

Don't give it another thought, SoFla. They say that "pain shared is pain reduced; joy shared is joy multiplied." So according to that, by Tom's generous gift, and depending on your opinion of the book, it's a win or win situation... :)

Hello All: Been a while since I've stopped by the forum. Working on the final installment of the Jelly Bryce Trilogy and I'm deep in the weeds. I've seen this video before and I've gotta say, I'm not feeling it. I could be wrong, but I'd guess that's not our guy. I hope all is well and...
