Man, I could say something really politically incorrect but I just got swatted a few days ago and don't need another ding from the big guy so soon 
We'll leave it at that.

I feel your pain, Caj. I got dinged again a couple days ago for getting too, uh, opinionated about certain social issues. That's why I'm keeping quiet. It's real hard, though. But it's almost entrapment! Someone says something and it's hard not to respond. What did Pacino say in Godfather 3,"I try to leave and they pull me back in!!"Man, I could say something really politically incorrect but I just got swatted a few days ago and don't need another ding from the big guy so soon

At least I know I was on the right track about that item in question.

Keep in mind that Colts were popular in British colonies, too.
I've seen ads for the SAA in old South African publications, and that is the handgun model carried by the three heroes in, "King Solomon's Mines", first published in 1883 by Sir Henry Rider Haggard.
The author was a veteran of the Second Zulu War of 1879, and probably saw SAA's in use in South Africa. They didn't all use Webleys.

This is true. And in one case a Remington 44-40 was used. That was american Colonel Frederick Burnham. The scout, hunter, and Arizona gunfighter who scouted in Africa for Rhodes. Here's a Rem. repro on my copy of "Scouting On Two continents", inscribed by Burnham in his later years.

This is why I never joke around and just try and be informative and helpful in threads. I suggest everyone else do the same.

I don't know what that thing is but it sure looks like it could have some kinky uses.

I'm going with Leonard--he's been there (many times), and done that (probably too many to count).

That is a Colt Single Action with the scalp of a troll it bagged.
