I hope it all works out. RR7 prayers sent.

Pitchy, I believe it must have been Peter Bell. I found the same information in a book by Mike Cox called " The Texas Rangers, wearing the cinco peso, 1821-1900". I have no idea why they referred to him as George. He served under Jack Hays. Later as a lieutenant colonel he formed three com...

Thanks, I will check it out. I hope you keep warm. RR7

I am glad you guys enjoy them. I have been doing this old west collecting for over fourty years. It is nice to share the history with forum members. RR7

M.M. Wright, no but I will take a look. Thanks, RR7

This is a 4 1/2 by 3 inch calling/ business card of Dan Breen. He owned the Turf Exchange Saloon at 510 East Houston Street in San Antonio, Texas around the corner from the Alamo. It was a saloon and gambling house. Dan Breen had been partners with Billy Simms since 1895 until Simms death in 1909. B...

Great rifle! I have owned two of them. RR7

Winchester Gallery in Fort Worth off 820 and Landcaster. Jackson Armory Dallas in Snider Plaza. Both have lots of older guns. RR7

rangerider7

Those are hard to find! Congrats, RR7

rangerider7

It is great to have items from your familie's past and that's a nice one.

rangerider7

Will do! RR7

I like Winchesters like that. It has just enough wear to have some good stories. How you would research it, and I do a research often, I wouldn't know where to start. Maybe google the information.

I use my Winchester 53 32-20 on coyotes and my win 1892 rifle 25-20 on turkey. My choice if I could only have one is the 32-20 because you can have a matching revolver. RR7

Count me in. Prayers given. RR7

BrianSH, I was not looking at the gold cup but was looking at the custom shop Colt 1911 nickel 38 super. I would have to trade for it. Probably not.

I have always looked at what was happening right before and what happened right afterwards. Bobby was getting under the mobs skin. LBJ might be dropped from the ticket in the next election and he hated the Kennedy's. LBJ was a man with strong connections in the underworld and wanted to be President ...

Have both if possible!

UncleBuck, the barrel is like new. It does have holster wear but not bad at all.

The Cabelas in Waco is one of the small ones, no gun libary or cafe. I always look at the used guns and saw a Sig Sauer 9 mm pistol for $325.00. I had to take a look. It was all metal and felt good in the hand. I couldn't believe the price. Come to find out it is a West German made Sig Sauer p6 surp...

Left to right: 1892 carbine, 1873 carbine, 1873 carbine. My two cents, RR7

rangerider7

Walker, no I found it on line. I have one like yours for a vintage Colt SAA 4 3/4. They are great holsters and the Tom Threepersons model is my favorite for SAs. Nice pair. RR7

rangerider7

It's not mine; it is on EBay. I thought it was funny that he said it was from 1880s but still a great 1890s photo. He has others and they are priced about right but to much for me right now. One has chief Parker in it near Fort Sill. These are very rare original cabinet photos, not seen on EBay very...

This is a nice companion for my nickle 1911 Colt with gold and silver grips, don't you thank?

The explosion in West, Texas a few months back rattled my home and it was 25 miles away.

86er, I have a Savage 99 TD in 3000-250 and it is great on white tail. My grandson may get a chance to use it this year if he keeps his nose clean. I like to use it on coyotes.

RR7

rangerider7

Fwiedner, I agree but for some reason I have always liked a R.T. Frazier holster that was made the in the same style. It will take a few years to wear it down until it has character; if I'm around that long. It does cause a stir at the ranch from the other hunters.

GoatGuy, my GGF used this brand in Comanche County, Texas in the 1870s. I have never been able to find out why he chose this one. My grandfather told me when I was a kid it was because his dad won his land in a poker game with 4 Jacks but he told tall stories to me often. Anyone that would know for ...

rangerider7

I just couldn't stand the cheap conchos on this well made holster so I got some Texas Star ones to match the belt buckle, with my Great Grandfather's brand, made by a spur maker friend of mine. I like it much better now because they match the sweet iron buckle and keeper on the older belt. A lot of ...

As a 9 year old boy my first job was selling Lone Star Donuts door to door in Austin, Texas for 35 cents a box. I did not stop working for the next 54 years. I lived on Griff's 15 cent hamburgers in college. Let me add to the list: mowing yards for 2 dollars, turning in soda bottles for 2 cent refun...

I have been to both places. Cool! RR7

A big thumbs up from me. As a fellow Texan I salute you! RR7

I have been across the border six times and not planning on going back anytime soon; Anyway the drug cartels are coming to me. I saw six cars and trucks being searched on I 35 this week. RR7

rangerider7

Believe it or not, it was a Colt Accurized AR15 with a scope made for it. It was the best coyote rifle I have ever had. I thought it was to heavy.

RR7

rangerider7

UncleBuck, no marks but probably made around the border. Brill and S.D. Myres were both in El Paso, Texas. RR7

rangerider7

jdad, I really like mine but make sure you wipe it down after use. It does rust a little if not. I noticed it on my rear sight. RR7

rangerider7

30wcf, if I told you I would have to kill you.

RR7

Grizz, there are a number of them on eBay. A.W. Brill made both models in the thirties. RR7

rangerider7

I think this 1911 would look better in it.

rangerider7

I agree, I knew y'all would see what I was seeing. The spur leathers and PA address were my first indication. Always fun to take a closer look at the old photos. RR7

rangerider7

NICE!! RR7

rangerider7

3leggedturtle, the belt is a Justin out of Fort Worth. The buckle and keeper were made by Jerry Finchum a spur maker. I'm sure you can find him on Google. RR7

rangerider7

MrMurphy I use this holster at the ranch. My carry holster is much faster but good point. RR7

rangerider7

Thanks 30wcf, I have added four 1911s this year. Colt, Springfield Armory, Kimber, and Sig. They all shoot great and feel good in my hand. I got one of those speed loaders from Butler Creek and that helps stop wear on the thumb when target shooting, especially that eighth round with the Kimber and S...

30wcf, uhhhhhh no thank you. RR7

This style of holster for a 45 auto seem hard to find for me so I was glad to locate it and was lucky to find one that matched my belt. What do you think?

Griff, nice hog!

rangerider7

Griff, I take a 1911 often to the ranch. They are good for four or two legged varmints. RR7
