Guns and leather
More and more I'm seeing younger people sell their fathers' gun/knife collections without hesitation much less remorse. I was in my friend/buddy/pal's store Saturday and a young man sells 7 or 8 S&W "K" and "N" frames, complete with boxes, papers, custom grips as well as the original grips. A couple 6" and 8 3/8" M57, a 3-1/2" and 5" M27-2's, and a couple of 4" M19's and 66's, all with custom grops as well as the genuine S&W smooth target Goncala Alves as well as the factory stocks. All in pristine condition.
A couple of vintage holsters accompanied each gun, including vintage Don Hume Jordan River Belts with matching Jordan River Holsters, various Bianchi and Safariland belt holsters.
After he left I claimed the 5" M27 and 4" blue M19, both with smooth targets as well as one of the two holsters that really caught my eye - original Lawman 'DIRTY HARRY" shoulder holsters, one for a 4" K-frame and the other for, naturally, the 8 3/8" Model 57 (there's a story about Dirty Harry's "44 Magnum" that some of the younger readers may not know!!! :)
I've had the 4" M10 with Herrett Ropers in the picture for a bit now and this is my first leather for it. I'll carry it and the 4" M19 in the Lawman and since I'm not opposed to modernizing, I'm replacing all those goofy leather thongs with Chicago screws.
