Here are a couple of buffalo hunting rifles I keep on hand in case I spy a large herd in need of culling.

The example offered me was not in the condition as he one in these pictures. Lincoln and Garfield on guttapercha grips VG, 1879. I did though once dub one of my pistols a messenger of liberty, as I had inset a Mercury dime in the grip of it.Ī CS SHATTUCK. With a bust of Garfield on one side and Lincoln on the other, kind of unique in a bizzare morbid way. I had saved pictures of one example some time ago for just such a thread. 32 rimfire and it was as much the ammo as the manner of the piece that left me disinterested in but a curio nenetheless. Speaking of Saturday Night Specials, here are pictures of a model I passed on owning a few decades ago during the heyday of my own passions.

Also a Winchester M74 that lives in more rural areas here for plinking along with a heavy barrel Mossberg target. Other stuff? Well, in one case I sent my darling sporterized Springfield '03 A3 off to live with a sister in Wisconsin. It basically covered gas and travel cost for this last show/get together. There were traces of gilt down in there on the barrel decoration. Considering the price I took though, I think he will be happy in time as just a curio and decorator. It had just been a table piece for kids to handle. The new owner was bummed after the exchange that the lock is not working (spring on the wrong side of the cog). So many of the pieces had been added or subtracted as to make little sense of some of it. All signs point to it having been a Mediterranean trade piece from about 1800. The figural barrel is curious, as is the tapestry back plateapplique. Of note on this one was that it had bee just a decorator for eons. You never know what you will find in those trash boxes by the curb or in a dumpster. The gun had come to me as a trash find during Boston's perennial student housing changeovers. It just went to another collector recently. Here is a piece I never did get around to taking better or complete pictures of. Posted: Tue 11 Oct, 2011 3:12 pm Post subject:
