Finally!

Looks like there are quite a few Woodsman holsters currently on flea bay.

Rich’s gun has the heavy barrel. Finding that holster is not that easy. (But he has one on the way)

Saw a few Gamegetters at a show last weekend that is put on by the Marbles Plus Club in Rapid River here in the UP. They still hold their prices as they are a great addition to the collectors of Marble Arms items. I have been doing that show for about fifteen years and every year at least one will show up.

Ours was a .22/.410 with the folding stock that also shot the round ball .44-40GG cartridge made especially for it. I have a few of those cartridges in my "stuff" here. We had the leather holster with our Gamegetter also. The gun went to a family member in Canada sometime in the mid 60's, never to return. Can't imagine the Canuck govt looks fondly on such a gun. I sure would like to have it as my airplane gun. Am thanking Edgar here for the info that they had been removed from the BATF list of evil guns. I had not heard that and am glad it happened as it seemed beyond absurd. As usual, Edgar proves himself the inveterate purveyor of invaluable minutiae.

Edgar I really appreciate your help in getting the holster for my Match Target

Regarding the list of evil guns by the BATF I have a Harrington & Richardson 410 single shot pistol. The called it The Snake Charmer. I don't remember how long the barrel is but it's not more than about 10 inches IIRC. The gun control act of 68 made it illegal. My ex father in law a retired Detroit cop gave it to me.

Edgar my holster came today and the pistol fits like a glove in it.
Many thanks

If I didn't already suspect you'd have a 45-90 or something equivalent on board, I'd suggest you get one of these little Springfield Armory Scouts. They came in .22 Win Mag also, but that one is impossible to find. The .410 chamber is 3" so you can keep an assortment of shot and slugs.

Rich,
I believe that H&R shot pistol was called the "Handy Gun". A buddy of mine in South Carolina had one that his father got from a Dupont plantation when the plantation was being sold for one of the golf courses being built, his father was the overseer of the place for the family. It even had the original holster and shot only 2-1/2" shells. The "Snake Charmer" was an 18-1/2" shotgun with a shortened stock to be compliant with the GCA 68, made I think, in the 80's. I think it was made by H. Coon Co. and the metal was stainless steel.However, your gun may have been named "Snake Charmer" by your ex father in law.

Thanks Jack that makes sense as the barrel isn't very long. I've tried to sell the thing a couple of times and no one will touch it due to the GCA of 68. It is chambered for the 2 1/2 inch shell IIRC. It looks like a big single shot break open pistol.

I collect anything Mable's have the Gamegetter 18 inch barrel with the wooden grips with holster.Dennis do you have the holster for your Gamegetter? J.J.
