I've wanted one since 1966......
........which is the first time I ever saw one. The fellow who owned it was Don Morris, a real gunsmith, who had an amazing shop with lots of cool stuff. He also owned a Colt Camp Perry and one of those monster .45-70 revolvers that were being built way back when. Nice guy who was very indulgent to a gun crazy kid.
I don't recall what I used in the search engine to find this little gem, but my experience is that Gunbroker's search engine is quite bad, and I try variations and misspellings a LOT. Oh, that was the opening bid too. I bid $600 just to ante up, and thought it might go a lot higher. But in my head I kept thinking it was going to stay right there, something about the way it's listed isn't a standout.
Otony, who found replacement grips at Vintage Grips. And no, I won't be getting rid of the original grips!
