This one arrived today a couple weeks after purchase. Came with a pretty special piece of paper.

It has some friends here to keep it company…

It's good to know someone I know managed to catch one of Taffin's sixguns. The last one I'm aware of sold last night, a second generation Colt that went for over $900. May you enjoy this one for many years to come!

When Jim T posted about them I went and searched gunbroker. There were around 80 of the first round. I had my eye on several and would have rather had a real colt repro but the 61 has been calling my name for awhile. I bid on several, not expecting to get most of them. When it came down to the last little bit I may have bumped this max bid up a hair!

I’m very happy with the revolver and even lore so since it was JT’s.

Shot a few cylinders through the 61 this weekend at Cannon’s between rain showers. It’s been awhile since I’ve shot any C&B. I forgot how little recoil the .36 has, very pleasant. Now I need to get into making paper cartridges so I’ll shoot them more!

I was downwind at the time....I wondered what was in my cigar!

Seriously though, I regret not taking the opportunity to try that.

am glad to see JT's pistol in the "family" and being enjoyed by many. Thanks for sharing that!
