Here is a colt woodsman that was purchased new by my great aunts' husband in 1950. He later was found on a dead end road in an oilfield with this pistol by his side and a bullet hole in his right temple. I do not know if it was ever shot again. My great aunt kept it all those years and gave it to my dad before she passed away a couple of years ago. He gave it to me before he passed I have not shot it. One of my few safe queens. The check given to purchase the pistol is dated 8/30/50, and is made out to Navel Co. for $60. I also have the original box. ya! GWB

Texas Longhorn Arms version of Elmer's famous #5, hand built in Texas by Bill Grover. This one in .45 Colt with an extra .45 Mag cylinder. Holster is a Bill Grover design made by Ted Blocker. Mr. Grover hand made a series of these guns, reversing the loading gate and ejector housing. He claimed Sam Colt was left handed, made these guns for his idea of what a right handed shooter should have. This gun had been sent to Dave Clements to harden and re-cut the sear. Mr. Grover's metal hardening, reportedly, wasn't always first rate. Anyway, Dave Clements fixed it and it's about perfect with a crisp, light trigger. A collector offered me a lot more for this gun than I had in it, so I let him have it. It's a good shooter, the .45 Mag version being slightly more accurate than the .45 Colt. DF

Ithaca 37 Featherweight Deerslayer with a now defunct Hastings Paradox tube and a Burris 4x20 Mini. I believe I was shooting Remington Copper Solids back then.
