Wow thanks so much for the pics. Do you have research letters on them? If only they could talk. I have a 1890 winchester than I am planing on ordering a research letter for.

One or the other of them is often kept under the car seat or carried in the backcountry. When we have a group hunting, we sometimes load up one of them at the lunch break and see who is the better shot. These are working guns.

There is not much more reliable than a Colt single action army and in .45 Colt you have a potent cartridge.

Calvin, that is an original Von Lengerke and Antoine ( VL&A), Chicago which morphed into Von Lengerke and Detmond ( VL&D) which morphed into Abercrombie and Fitch, the world famous sporting goods and outfitters store. A&F devolved into a teen age girls cutesy clothing store, but at one time it was hallowed ground. Some people here have memories of wandering around the Chicago or New York A&F stores. For me, it was the A&F store in San Francisco on Union Square. Powell Street runs by Union Square and three blocks up where Geary St intersects Powell is the Sutter Hotel where Parker west coast agent Arthur Bray lived.

The holster is an original H. H. Heiser, Denver, so marked, and also labeled VL &A.
