Leave it to a Brit to spoil a great story of the old American west! LOL

Hang on a minute, there's something wrong here, if you were speaking to this old guy in 2007, that gunsmith character couldn't have ridden Pony Express, he'd be about 140 years old. The Pony Express only lasted for about five years until it was replaced by the Telegraph.
If you were speaking to him in 1907 that would put you well over 120 years of age.
I think someone is pulling our legs gents. Come on now 'Fess Up' Steve.
Harry Yeah, that and the fact that someone wants to trade him 165 doubles, including Bo Whoop, were pretty good clues.

I'm sure is close to true.I have heard that the barrel was changed three times and the frame twice and of course the new grips but all in all a real find.

Sorry fellows, the serial numbers look like they were rubbed off with a stone by Sitting Bull after the Greasy Grass fight and the good pix are in the trunk of my car at the motel.
But...when I was last down in Argentina, one of the bird boy's uncles had an old Parker shotgun left by an American rancher early in the last century. Seems the American owner's name was also Parker, George LeRoy as I recall, and had left the gun with him on his way to visit a bank in another town. Parker never returned for his Parker.
Anyone got a clue what that one might be worth?
Best,
Steve

There's rumor of a letter in the trunk of a 34 Ford.

That Ship Line must have had at least two of those guns. I believe I saw the other one over the mantle at "Cracker Barrel" the other day.

That picture is a little bit fuzzy for a pro eh!
Could be a Ruger Blackhawk for all we know?
