I used to like my little office upstairs in my house that houses a handful of double guns. Wow! Amazing what some of you guys get to enjoy.

A couple of pics from the gun room of a departed friend of mine. He loved his Colt Woodsmans and Winchester 61s. I used to wander around that gun room in amazement. He also had a passion for Winchester 12s and 42s and had several nice specimens. He left us to early at the age of 65. One year we were at the Kansas City show and he purchased a NIB Model 12 Hydracoil with the ivory colored finishes. I made fun of it and told him it was a girls gun. He joined right in and tried to convince me to dress up in a dress, wig, heels and the whole package and take this maybe never fired gun to the gun club and shoot skeet with it. He thought it would be worth the laugh even if it meant shooting this mint specimen. It's a shame that we never did get that done. I do know where that gun is still today though

Wow!! That wouldn't be Edward A. Brink would it?

The only two pistols I own are my Father's Woodsman Target first issue of circa 1930, and my Uncle Irv's Woodsman Target - Second Series - first issue that was a Christmas gift from his wife in 1953. While it has been shot some, it is still in the original box and waxed paper with the instruction manual and cleaning rod/brush. Irv passed it on to me on my 21st birthday. My Father carried his all over the western half of North America, and it shows it.

Yes he was in both quantity and quality. It was something to see. I only posted a portion of his guns.

My humble collection resides in a turn of the last century government vault, which is parked in a hidden room, that for all intents and purposes, doesn't exist. Hidden, room, hidden door, etc.
That said, the largest collection that I have ever had contact with, was my daughter in law's Godparents. Absolutely amazing collection! My son's wedding reception was held at their house.
Google Wes Adams gun Collection.

Amazing is all I can say about some of these collections, With a lot of us aging, out so to speak, There will be a lot of nice guns coming to market, and some handed down to sons and grandsons and grand daughters and daughters to enjoy and cherish, hopefully they will remember ol grandpa when they use them!
