Looks like either today or Monday; might as well celebrate both!
No time to shoot but I'll have to get into the safes and fondle some of his work. Let see...
1911
Hi-Power
Woodsman
1890
1892
1894
Remington Model 8
Ithaca 37
Might have to hit the gun shop and see if Ivan find a '97 or model 12 to cut down...

Of the Troops & For the Troops
My favirites in no special order are:
1911
1917 water cooled 30
1919 air cooled 30
Browning A5
Rem 8 & 81
High Power 9
and many others...every time I take apart a JMB designed gun, I can tell it was one of his designs, even if I didn't know.
He would be one of the top 5 historical figures that I would like to sit down for dinner with sometime. - JM

I don't care for the "What's a decocker" word bubble on this pic.
It's not that he didn't know what a decocker was...it was that he knew better. 
My 92, 94, and both 1911s say "Happy Birthday, Dad"
