Certainly not just “another gun”….a very nice gun and a couple nice watches. Terrific way to remember your brother.

I didn't know about your brother. I'm real sorry to hear that sad news.

Sorry to hear about your brother. He had good taste in firearms, that DW is a beauty, and nice leather to go with it.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Those are some very nice ways to hold your brother's memory, Don.

Sorry to hear about your brother huntsman. Fine choice in 1911s though. Dan wessons rival the semi-custom 1911s out there. Id out one up against just about any brand! Owned them all and you cant beat the dw for quailty and accuracy for the price

The love for a fine pistol obviously was in the bloodline. Family treasures, all three.

Glad you were able to get those family heirlooms Brother!
My son, Mike, really wants one of those Remington 7615's as well.......however since they're discontinued, prices are north of $2,000.00 for them! Remington would be very wise to bring them back!
Again, nice pistola and pocket watches. I look forward to seeing them next time I stop in!

Great family heirlooms. But sorry you lost a loved one. Prayers for you guys. Be Well Brother, RZ.

Love to see family guns come back to family that appreciates them and not sold to the local gun store for 50cents on the dollar. Glad you got a couple peace's from your brothers estate.

I love the simple classy lines of all three pieces. You chose great pieces to use and remember.
