I finally got my Trophy gun. As promised here is a close up of the thumb release.

Can we buy more pics?
I'd love to see that fabulous case inside and out!

Very nice. Glad you got it. I received my Amoskeag wins on 12/2, and have never had a problem, although I have usually paid the credit card premium. I am surprised it took so long for you. Water under the bridge now that you have it.

Wow Don, yet another really nice revolver. When you get all these really nice revolvers, do you get a Roy Jinks letter, or one from that other guy?????

And what were those purchases?

IDK, IMHO patience is a virtue. I would rather wait and just pay less, but to each his own.

I requested a delay on my shipment, although maybe it would have shipped at the same time, but I received my packages from Amoskeag on Sat 18 December.

Don,

I was poking around old newspapers on the internet and found these related items. Thought they may be of interest.

Great gun Don,

I love those grips and the rare features!

I don't recall ever seeing Ropers with a engraved name on them.

I wonder If these grips were made for presentation with the gun shown or if they were ordered by the Dr before 1952?

The way the cylinder release is tucked under the grip I wonder if a prewar release fits as well.

Dr. Leslie was the first conductor of the Springfield (Mass( symphony orchestra and a world class pistol shot.

He looks like Harrison Ford.

Here is the case. You'll note how the case is made to hold the front of the barrel in the case. I wonder if Gagne made the case as well. The bottom had gray felt covering the bottom. Yes, I have the key.

No, they didn't know who was going to win the match.
No, he didn't know he was going to win it.
