Thanks for the comments. Sometimes, because I've lived in my personal "gun bubble" for so long, I forget that not everyone shares the same interests/knowledge. That's one of the reasons I enjoy these forums, because I'm constantly picking up new bits of information about a range of things...

Few more images Sorry about the reflection in the glass. Drawings are really something in person. Topperwein was a great artist, these are real Americana. I'm a happy hombre!

Just had these two items framed / preserved / protected. They are original drawings by Champion shooter/showman Ad Topperwein. As many of you know Topperwein was a cartoonist / artist as well as phenomenal trick shot artist. These were too cool to let go by so I bought them and had them...

I believe I can without violating the rules of the Forum, and thank you for asking. www.jellybryce.com If I am incorrect, Mr. Moderator, please accept my apologies. Regards

Working on it! It is very interesting to see Bryce in his prime, especially in color. While he must have been captured on film many times (based on all the demonstrations he provided at the request of the FBI) clips and images of him are as rare as hen's teeth, at least in my experience...

Glad you liked part one enough to ask about part two, Rock! "FBI Odyssey" is scheduled for release this July, but may be out sooner. Then the final installment, "Man in the Mirror" will be out the following summer. Best regards

Thought you may appreciate the attached image... This is a still excerpted from a color film showing Jelly Bryce in his early FBI career. In this image, Bryce is holding his Registered Magnum. The custom grips have his initials, DAB, just below the steer head. I would request that the image not...

At the risk of wearing out my welcome on this forum, and in the interest of full-disclosure, I would like to clarify that I am the publisher and owner of Saber Press. I also sweep up the place. :) Mr. Taylor, a WW2 Veteran and character worthy of his own book, has been a friend and supporter...

For what it's worth, I personally believe that if the photo you're referring to is from Jordan's NO SECOND PLACE WINNER (page 56), that it does not picture Bryce next to Jordan. The face, stance, grip all appear different, things we used to call "clues" in police work, but not conclusive...

Thank you for the inquiry, Jim. I always try to make personally-signed copies of my books available for those who may want them, simply because I always enjoy having signed copies of books in my own library. If you or anyone would like a signed/inscribed copy of the Jelly Bryce book or any...

Awesome find. I've been on the hunt for one for years now. Good on you and enjoy the heck out of it!

Thank you for the kind words, Mas! Part two is coming along nicely, the deeper I get into the history of the FBI the more I realize how much I didn't know. Fascinating times, people, and events. Stay well, Sir.

According to Ron Owens and other sources, Jelly Bryce's "Lucky Gun" was a .44 Smith & Wesson Hand Ejector, 3RD Model or "Wolf and Klar Model" of 1926 sporting a 4" barrel. This pistol was reportedly nickel-plated, ornately-engraved, with ivory or MOP grips. The grips had a steer head on the...

Thanks, Jim. And don't worry about the portrait, I understand its significance and I'll take good care of it. I am proud to have it in my collection as I have long admired the man in the photo and know he admired the man he gave it to. I'm also certain it was difficult for you to part with it...

Request for info... Hello Jim: Thanks for all the info you've posted. Hope you'll provide me a little more... I attended the Amoskeag auction today and was lucky enough to go home with the large framed studio portrait of Ed McGivern - the same image used in your avatar I believe. Can you...
