    Show us your Guns!

    Right then, since the Mods haven't cried foul... Aside from the fact that in some distant past Bubba got at the screw heads with a pocket knife, the gun is in reasonable cosmetic condition, with a trace of CC left, ok bluing and decent stock finish. The tubes are mirror on the inside. What...

    Thanks kindly Warbird. As this is a display thread, I'm wondering if it is appropriate to discuss my queries here or by PM? Don't want to cross the mods, especially as they're probably all armed.;)

    Speaking of reactions to vintage...

    Thought you folks might get a kick out of this. Had a doctor's appointment today. When the doc came in, I said hi how ya doin' and he said "Well I see you've got that whole Wyatt Earp thing going on."lol I was wearing my brown Borsolino, Carhart barn coat, braces over a hickory shirt, jeans...

    WTB cigar humidor

    Delete please, deal done. Heya, after years of pipe smoking am now getting into cigars a bit and need an inexpensive spanish cedar humidor to hold no more than 40 cigars at a time. As I'm just a beginner and don't know if I'll stick with it, don't want to spend a lot, so used and beat up is ok...

    Ithaca NID Hey Gents, I've just picked up one of these made 1926. No pictures, but would really appreciate it if someone who knows these guns well could PM me so I can ask some questions. It has some condition issues that don't make sense to me, and although I've owned a pile of doubles over...

    Does this hat exist?

    Thanks guys, good info. I may have to go custom, but was kinda hoping for a store-bought or vintage that won't break the bank. With a maker and model I would be able to advertise for one, in the way you could say "wtb Stetson OR." As to getting slapped in the face by a too limber brim, I...

    Does this hat exist?

    Hey, I'm after a summer hat. What I'm looking for is a thin ribbon, bound edge, 4 inch brim, 51/2 to 6 inch unbashed crown. The kicker is that I need felt of a weight, thickness (thinness), and quality of my vintage Borsalinos of the Alessandria type. I know Akubra makes nice sombreros...

    To all the naysayers, I have one question: Can you say "jaded?"

    Thanks for the additional pics Warbaby, that is a great gun, and wonderful to have the amount of history around it that you do. As a guess only, I'm thinkin' it was purpose built as a target gun, probably to be shot from a bench. That is a very heavy barrel, even for a 'plains rifle'. In a...

    Some great stuff showing up here lately, but Warbaby's ML is beyond words. I, for one, would love to see more detail pics. Can't remember seeing that peep sight arrangement before, but looks relatively easy to make, simple and ingenious. The gentleman who owned that rifle was obviously...

    Modern Borsalino liners?

    The liner and sweat are identical to a couple of my Borsos that I know to be from the fifties. As to whether to buy or not, the above advice is golden.

    Modern rabbit, vintage rabbit, modern beaver

    Interesting. The beaver looks like the felt on my old Borsalinos, yet I have gathered from comments in the past that they are rabbit?

    Job Interview

    As much as I'm a 'do your own thing kind of guy,' I'd have to say you'd probably be best off not wearing a hat at all. I have hired people as well as working as a job counselor and one of the tips I pass along is to arrive at the interview looking as if you already work for the organization...
