Never could find a Colt but got a look a like clone ; an Iver Johnson Trailmaster or some such. It stovepiped no matter what brand ammo used and didn’t stay in my care very long. My Dad’s youngest brother had a competition Huntsman Colt that I got to shoot a few times. He was a Lt Col in USMC and did 3 tours in Nam. I do have a Marlin 30/30 with the 3/4 tube magazine that was his. Wonder what happened to his Colt? Also his 1911

Bob_B257 Campfire Regular B Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 953 Southern New England	Originally Posted by 351WSL My early 80's Browning Hi Power Electroless Nickel. I worked an entire summer as a young teenager just to purchase the Satin Chrome model with the black grips and accents from a local Ace Hardware. When I had enough to pay for it, I went to the store and it had been sold. I was lucky enough to have a close cousin with FFL and got this one shipped. I'm glad it turned out as it did! Chris in AL I don’t own one….. but this is the first thing that came to my mind when I read the OP. Even over my Woodsman. John Browning legacy with machined metal using metric system ammo is about as good as it gets in a description of whatever “panache” means. 351, yours is a fine looking example with a great origin story. Bob I used to only shoot shotguns and rimfires, then I made the mistake of getting a subscription to handloader.......
