$10k and this beauty can be yours!

Slimy, greasy case colors and engraving done with a rusty screwdriver based on a layout drawn in marker on a cocktail napkin.

IMO that British gun you were trying to peddle on this forum when jOe got your goat.....was really the greasy POS of the year......just looked run hard and put away wet.....

You know, it had the taken apart weekly to keep it goin' look........nothing fit right, none of the wood matched....I know, maybe you are color blind.....OR maybe your camera was made in China......?.......We won't even mention your eye for second grade practice checkering..........

Buy some more scrap, lot's out there sweating and rusting away in their leather cases......!......Beauty is in the "eye of the beholder".........to each his own........

Cheers,


Doug

In my eyes some CC Mausers are very nice. A modern example would be the 'Rominten' by Waffen Jung. I handled one and was impressed.

With kind regards,
Jani

Some folks whose opinions I respect have spoken. For a change, I will not offer mine.

I own and shoot most brands, but the LC Smith is really a treasure and it's mechanical quality beats the rest.......of course we all have our own opinions..........some like lots and lots of parts so there are lots and lots of stuff to break.........just an opinion, right.........





And this one is just for you Rookhawk....Factory Original 100% Cyanide Colors from Fox in 1929... cyanide done the right way...


Best,


Doug,

I'll hand it to you, your Steringworth does ave nice, subtle CCH. I was not aware that was even cyanide. I have an aversion to the smeary, drippy cyanide a see on repro wild west guns so that was what I was thinking.

I still stand by my rude insult of Elsie's. I saw one recently that had four guys on it tat absolutely looked like they were in a barbershop quartet. I laughed out loud at how "Vaudvelilian" it looked.

If Elsies are so mechanically superior, why didn't anyone copy the locks off patent as has been done to Holland, Fox, Dickson and others?
