Thanks guys and you're going to get me in so much trouble.
Here is one from a while ago, again just fooling around. Guns and accoutrements that a forward thinking (and well off) deputy sheriff circa 1910 might use. Savage 1899H SRC in 32-40 (rare caliber for Savage) and a Colt 1900 pistol in...
I appreciate the nice comments! I got to stop doing this or the wife will have my blanks in a jar. I am supposed to be cleaning up my stuff not playing with all of it.
It is a pocket holster and it has the older Heiser mark on the front so it is old - I think pre 1925? Back is pretty boring...
Last one, American Railway Express Company (1917-1929-ish) scenario - Colt Police Positive was sent to them in 1923. Badge is the real deal for Special Officer. I am assuming these persons guard valuable cargo but that is just a WAG on my part. I haven't been able to find anything about that...
The Remington 14 1/2 carbines are quite rare. By far the rarest of the Model 14 family. I lucked into this one at a price that I could afford several years ago. Haven't seen one since. Some estimate less than a 1000 were produced in 38-40 and 44-40 calibers only. They are very slick to run...
Finally, a 4 1/2 inch Colt New Service in 38-40 with Stags (1923), Old Geo Lawrence belt (1910-1940s), Heiser tooled holster (1919-1955) with Remington model 14 1/2 pump carbine (1915) also in 38-40 and various accoutrements including pre-mid 1930s Stetson, pocket watch and fob, and old Tower...
Another one with props - 4-inch 1912 Colt Army Special with MOP grips in 32-20, 1919-55 Heiser belt for 32-20 rounds, no-name holster, Winchester 1907 .351 deluxe made in 1908 with a few factory 10-round mags, Remington Dogbone box from the 1930s, another old pocket watch from the 1920-30s...
Was "cleaning" again this weekend and couldn't help myself - 1930s Chicago police sergeant desk complete with old badge, Colt Police Positive made in 1923; Clark holster circa early 30s; Peerless handcuffs made July 1, 1924; 1897 Winchester with Peters #1 Buckshot from late 1920s; Stetson "The...
Yeah, I guess it’s anybody’s guess. It’s got two lengths of fur and it’s “rougher” than any rabbit fur I’ve ever touched. It’s on a 1950s era Stetson Nutria Quality. I’ll just keep it on there until told differently. Thanks for your help.
Thanks Bamaboots. It’s got a leather backing. I know it’s part of the hat’s history but I would be uncomfortable is this was actually leopard. I don’t know when this practice was stopped.
What a modern, forward thinking (and well to do) deputy sheriff would carry turn of the 20th century - Savage 1899 saddle ring carbine in 32-40, Colt’s 1900 sight safety Automatic Pistol in 38 AC and various period correct accoutrements. The savage is extremely rare in this caliber and they...
