Just a couple of photo,s of the gun show, As Mike said it was messy outside but smelled of gun oil inside, saw one other hammer gun in the place , and it was sort of like a coat of many colors. Gary

Jeff, I think those were Jim Parkers display cases that were sold a Julia's auction.

It was a great display for sure, and I saw more people lingering longer over that glass case full of hammer guns than any other table there. The other gun that I would have LOVED to take home was the the cased VH Two Barrel Set (green felt lined case in the pictures).

Dave, are you a Colt Lightning fan? My Dad has a .38 Colt Lightning pistol, nickel with pearl handled grips. I've got it's big brother, large caliber pump action Colt Lightning Rifle.

The case is made in Iowa, I had two made a couple years ago, I Think Jm Hall bought Jim Parkers cases. The cases I have are walnut with mother of pearl inlay, I had the parker emblem put on while they made the case, after all you got to have a good case for a great gun!

The pistol I think you are speaking of is a Ruger super Red Hawk with scope

Gary, I was asking about the pistol just in front of the decoy. Thank you Sir.

Dave, it is a hinged or break open revolver. Tough to see any detail.... both S&W and Colt made revolvers on this design... as well as a few others.
