Through strange circumstances I wound up with this old gun.
The gun belonged to a good friend, but had been forgotten about for a few years. When I got it the pistol was missing a hammer and some internal parts. I dug around in my parts bin and found a hammer that fit and worked well. It was fun to get it running.
Funny thing was, someone had worked on the gun sometime in the past and slicked it up in the same way I do the single actions! I thought that was cool.
I called the owner of the gun and talked with him about it. When I told him that someone had slicked up the internals the same way I did he laughed at me and told me that I had sold him the gun!
!!!
We ended up agreeing to put it in the Lady Shootists raffle at The Shootists Holiday that year, which we did.
Tom Richardson won it!
He called me after the Holiday and I gave him the background on the gun. He was tickled to win it.
