Some new pics

[CraigC]

I hit the jackpot for some new photo props at a local antique mall. Found a section of weathered old barn door and a set of US stamped saddle bags for $40!

1851 Richards-Mason with the saddle bags.


Ruger Bisley Vaquero .44Mag.


First pics of the Open Top since I had it fitted with real ivory, nearly two years ago.

Love that open top! .44 Colt right? Ever take any game with it?

That engraved open-top with the ivory grips can only be described as BEAUTIFUL!!

It is a .44Colt. I often carry it hunting and smacked a coyote with it a couple years ago. Also popped a few armadillos, possums and coons with it.

Those are seriously beautiful revolvers. Is that a Turnbull Vaquero?

 

[CraigC]

Do you believe those are actually factory Ruger colors? I was shocked, one of the reasons why I bought it.

I thought the same thing about the Ruger Bisley Vaquero; that it had been worked on by Turnbull! Amazing colors for a factory Ruger!

 

[Armored farmer]

Its twin is on GB right now.....fyi.

Enabler.

Eh, those guns are too old. PM me for my FFL's address and I'll do my part to keep them from cluttering up your premises ...

PS. Congrats (and there's still no emoticon for 'envy')

 

[Kleanbore]

Fantastic, as usual!

Wow, I have never seen any Ruger that came straight from the factory with such fantastic coloring. That is very cool!

 

[CraigC]

Me neither!

Great props. The guns aren't too bad either.
