Default Guns as art

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

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.

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

While a 12 gauge Lifter rests at the fireplace.

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.
