A Little Model 1 Fun

[first-model]

Merry Christmas everyone!

I was goofing around this afternoon and thought this turned out half-decent. The left gun is serial number 475, which shipped in July 1858. Right gun is serial number 863, which shipped in September 1858. And the middle gun is serial number 5, which shipped in December 1857.

Watch is an early key wind Hampden Watch Co. 18 size. Libation is a nice Taylor port.

Mike,

I am also a fan of pocket watches. And I have a Model 1 (third version) in the mix somewhere. Here is my key wound, National Watch Co, J T Ryerson model.

It is one of my daily watches. I currently have a total of 5 watches, 2 key wind, 3 stem winders, one of which is railroad grade.

Its still amazing with as well worn as theses guns are, how well the rosewood grips hold up. And the ones I have still have matching numbers.

Yes.
The rosewood grips are very durable
