As it always has been and ever shall be - "Money Talks" and the truth walks.
Everyone has their price. I wonder what (amount) made him tell such a bald-faced lie? |

Well it is, yes. It was owned then by Buck Hamlin , then sold at Tulsa and now owned by a PGCA member here. It is a great and highly interesting gun, one which quite a few Winchester collectors were not aware existed. Another PGCA member here has an even better one, that one being the black diamond grade with extra fancy wood, checkering and a take down model. That gun cost three times the price of a standard fluid steel barreled Mod 1897.

1902 H.H. Kiffe catalog courtesy of Gary Cripps
"The barrel of this gun has been proved with 9 1/2 drams of powder, and 2 1/2 ounces of shot." I believe that would include the booby trap Damascus barrel ![]() ![]()

Bruce and Dr Hause. Yes, the frame and slide of this 1911 is Damasteel from Sweden I believe and made by Caspian. I will get photos this weekend and post. Wow, never seen a Purdey but that photo shows one of the most unusual and beautiful shotguns I've seen (excluding Parkers of course). They probably furnish non-nitro shells because of the Damascus.

Bob: Rapid Solidified Powder (RSP) Martensitic Stainless Steel can be treated to a tensile strength of about 5000 MPa = >700,000 psi so your 1911 will likely survive the apocalypse

Interesting timing
![]() “The Winchester Model 97” by Pete Dickey in the Feb. 1985 American Rifleman Damascus barrels were regularly offered up until 1914 [but] cannot be considered “Smokeless Powder” guns. I guess 9 1/2 drams of powder, and 2 1/2 ounces of shot was not adequate proof ![]()

Bruce: Damascus photos attached. Damascus slide, hammer & mainspring housing only. I built 3 of these several years ago, test fired & disassembled for finish application. Interest now returned & will probably proceed. Other photos are a 40 cal double stack I built for USPSA, an early aluminum frame Kimber & an Ed Brown Kobra.
Look forward to your Pheasant Fest update. Bob |
