Workin' on it!

I most strongly second that re the "Gentleman and a Scholar" comment. Chip is a great guy and though we've not met in person yet I consider him a good friend. He read Jelly Bryce: FBI Odyssey for me prior to publication and smoothed off a lot of rough edges. A great eye, and a great guy! Lest...

This is the pistol in the holster, Registered Magnum. Grips are MOP.

I'm familiar with that quote and it probably would get you an infraction! I will get in touch when I get some time to enhance the images. The pic of him sitting on the ground I think clearly shows the trigger guard not covered, as does an image of him drawing from standing position. Do you see it?

Which holster of Cirillo's were you interested in?

A few clues... Hello All: I imagine this renewed search was initiated by Alan Soellner of Chisholm's Trail? I had a conversation with him the other day about Jelly's holster (he produces excellent leather gear and is working on producing a replica of Jelly's holster), and he told me he was...

I'll have to go through my notes, but most of my information about the OCPD came from and through Ron Owens. If I find anything interesting about Mabe that hasn't been put out here I'll be sure to pass it on. I'll also ask Ron if he has anything else in his files that he hasn't released. Ron's...

In law enforcement work we would call that a "clue!" Awesome piece. Thanks for sharing. Any word on whether he'll be putting it up for sale or auction?

Hey Hoov, when you picked up your awesome blaster, you didn't happen to see this one lying around by any chance, did ya'? :)

Too cool for school, Hoov!! Thanks for sharing this awesome piece of history! PM sent

From Larry Wack's site: "According to Smith/Wesson records, the Director's Registered .357 Magnum, is described as: Serial 45768 Reg. No. 1, shipped from the Smith factory and delivered to J. Edgar Hoover in April, 1935. Records reveal it was shipped with 8.75 inch barrel, equipped with a 1/10...

The third and final installment is underway and I expect it will be released in the summer or fall of 2016. Barring anything unanticipated occurring--life happens--this project will be completed on time and to the best of my abilities. :)

Thank you, Sir! I greatly enjoyed reading your review on Amazon. Your description of my portrayal of Edgar Hoover was spot on as far as what I was trying to do--neither denigrate nor glorify him. Like most of us, Hoover was a complicated person. I did a lot of research into his life and the...

Hello RDA: Sorry for the delayed response, I haven't checked this thread for quite a while. According to all the info available, Jelly's Lucky Gun sported a 4 inch barrel. In another thread, this image of Jerry Campbell's .44 Special is posted and the description notes it has a 4 inch barrel...

Handsome set, Tom. What are the barrel lengths?

Just an update on the Jelly Bryce Trilogy I've been working on... Part 2, FBI ODYSSEY is now available in paperback and on Kindle. More information is available at www.jellybryce.com Very best regards, Mike Conti

Image of "Lucky Gun" Posted http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-hand-ejectors-1896-1961/425806-jelly-bryce-lucky-gun-photo.html Best, Mike Conti

Thanks, Tom. I had tried to upload the image itself and it was apparently too large. Regarding the grip, while the "13" is clear and the cat is sort of clear, can anyone make out what the banner reads? Maybe someone with better imaging equipment (or sharper eyes) than I have? I would assume it...

From the archives of the Oklahoma City Library and the kind consideration of Tim Spindle of the Metropolitan Library System, I've come into possession of this image of Jelly Bryce's .44 Special "Lucky Gun." This story was published in the April 13, 1932 edition of the Oklahoma City Times. It...
