I hope this is the right forum... feel free to move as needed. Anyway, I've had an affinity for Marble's Game Getter's for over 40 years. They've come & gone... always regretting letting go of them after they go to their new homes... This past fall, two showed up that were in very nice condition. A 1908-B in it's original wooden box. And a 1921 with it's shoulder holster. Due to ATF restrictions, I had the owner remove the barreled portion and had him give them to a friend at the show. I brought the lower portions home. I had my friend ship them to a machinist in South Dakota to make new 18" barrels and change them out. It took a couple months, but the barrels arrived a few weeks ago and I was able to put them together. Here's a few before & after pics:



Here's what they look like after the new barrels have been installed and replaced the bent stock on the 1921...


The story doesn't stop there... At last weeks Las Vegas Antique Gun Show, two more needed to be adopted... another 1908 and a 1921.... both in like new condition. No box, but both had holsters. The 1908 (A-model) has 6" extensions on the wire stock. The extensions are very well done, but something I've never seen before. Alas, they both were in need of new barrels. Same procedure took place, barreled top halves removed and safely held by a good friend for shipment. The lowers came home... I installed a nice top half on the 1921 that was waiting in my safe. It will do until the correct one is available... Here's the current happy family.


I'm always interested in related items, especially holsters. I need a nice 12" holster for the 1908... any help would be appreciated...
