New Piece #12210838 08/16/17 Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 33,686 Either Texas or Idaho E EdM OP Campfire 'Bwana OP EdM Campfire 'Bwana E Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 33,686 Either Texas or Idaho My wife and I were heading to Spokane to pick up two of our son's and their GF's for some time here in north Idaho. We were running early so she suggested a stop at the Post Falls Cabelas. I "walked" with this piece for $500. It appeared little used, carry up and lock up dead right, bore spotless with some holster wear. It is on its way to the Buda Texas store awaiting my return. Conduct is the best proof of character.

Re: New Piece EdM #12215515 08/17/17 Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 33,686 Either Texas or Idaho E EdM OP Campfire 'Bwana OP EdM Campfire 'Bwana E Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 33,686 Either Texas or Idaho Been doing a bit of research and clearly I stole it. Looks like it is a 1929 piece. The basic piece has a great history being requested on the larger I frame by a San Francisco gun dealer in 1911. Imagine that... First issued in 1911 so fit and finish is dead nuts. I can't wait to get back home, swing by Cabelas and shoot it. Conduct is the best proof of character.

You beat me to that gun by about 24 hours! I stopped there on my way home (east/bound) to Montana on August 17th and would have bought that nifty pistol in an instant had it still been there. Good for you. I had been out to the west coast chasing guns last week - I wish I would have stopped in (w/b) seven days prior. Nothing came my way compared to your treasure. Keep after'em.
