Guns as art
 

The Old Reliable, the gun that won the West, and the other Old Reliable.

At the risk of being nosey , what’s your Sharps ? Original , C Sharps or Shiloh ?

It is so nice to see these classic American pieces of history displayed in an artistic and tactful manner.
I believe any American gun that somebody thinks is worthy of sharing pictures with others who appreciate these old beauties, should present them in an artistic manner and not on a tailgate or laid out across the powerplant of a Maserati or Porsche.

The Sharps is an original 50/70 Carbine. Works great. I killed a buffalo with it.

Wow, if that old guy could talk! Like an old friend said, "We love the old guns because they harbor old men's souls!"

A couple more views from my living room.

The Winchester is a circa 1900 Saddle Ring Carbine, and it's a shooter.

While a 12 gauge Lifter rests at the fireplace.

Todd, your single right..............:rolleyes:

No, me and my bride are going on 45 years. Lucky in love, married to the most perfect woman I have ever met.
As a side note; The old lifter is leaning against the fireplace, right where she placed it. Next stop, up on a wall. Just a well worn old 12 gauge, but old lifters make great wall art.
BTW, last night was one of those 3rd glass nights, where I usually try to just read - not post - but it looks like I didn't cause any major damage ; - )

P.S. to the above. This is the room where we watch television. What's not shown, is the coffee table in front of the couch, with a couple of vintage pistolas from the late 1800s.
My wife calls it "playing cowboy". Dinner, a glass of wine, and an old western from the 50s/60s makes a fine evening.
