Oh my goodness.
This gun was Bill Grover's personal Border Special with pecan grips he made from a tree on his property. It is the gun he used to take a large alligator once the season was opened back up. Someplace I have the magazine article showing Bill with this gun and the 'gator hanging.

The upper left gun in this picture is the Improved #5 was ordered by the same man that ordered the 3 gun set but serial number 300 for the Improved #5 was already assigned so Bill numbered this on K300A. This one came in one of the hard to find hardwood cases.

Finally, this Improved #5 in 41 mag was literally a box of parts I sent to Alan Harton and he was able to take the parts and make what at the time was in his words, the most accurate single action he had shot.

And as the cartoon character used to say --- "That's all folks!":)
