Re: Hospitalization

Mike, do they do the proceedure with catherization or do they have to open you up? Catheterization, when I had my first one done they went in through both sides of my groin and through my left wrist. Then up to six hours on my back after they are done, to make sure the plug/stitch in the femoral ar...

Re: Does anyone know someone that is familiar with

The reason I was asking is I bought a cheap holster on eBay. It came yesterday. The leather was in really good condition, soft and supple. The stitching was shot, the thread rotten. I restitched the thing, applied some leather conditioner and it is now a nice holster. It is a perfect fit for a 1917 ...

Does anyone know someone that is familiar with

Old West gear, post Civil War, pre 1920s? I am most interested in holsters.

Re: Are Mosin front-sights durable?

They were tough enough to survive two world wars. I have never seen a broken one either and at one time I owned 75 of them.

Those are really nice. I tried a couple of times to carry a pocket watch for daily use. They don't launder well.

Re: Tropical storm?

A followup to the story about the pawn shop where I had the consignments. I was able to pick up the pieces, undamaged from the owner. The guns were in the only corner of the building with a little roof left. The building was so badly damaged they tore what was left down. He set up in a temporary loc...

Re: Early flat latch Smith and Wesson model 34

I think that I have seen an uptick in general interest in vintage revolvers lately. Ten years ago, they were really inexpensive in pawn and gun shops everwhere. Back then I became interested in older top-breaks. I have since given or traded all of my topbreaks to my son. I still like my swing-out cy...
