    I’d let that young lady hold my gun up, if’n she was a mind to.

    We do love us some outlaws, don’t we?
    The sight radius on that doesn’t make for missing.

    The Marquis De Sade wrote his “120 Days of Sodom” while in the Bastille. He wrote it on a parchment scroll that resembles a roll of modern day toilet paper. It sold some time ago for a mere $35k.
    This pistol? A mere $100k for a gun that will eventually sell for a million? What fool failed to bid more?

    My grandfather carried either a 1902 or a 1905 in The Balkan Wars. Both were very popular in that part of the world. I’ve always wanted one but not $100K worth.

    Wow, if you have read much about Bonnie and Clyde and company they really did enjoy gun play, at least Clyde did and they also stole a lot of guns. In the book, The Complete Public Enemy Almanac by William J. Helmer and Rick Mattix on page 323 there are two old photos. One of the guns recovered from the death car and the other shows a large assortment, over 30 pistols found in Buck’s car, abandoned after the battle of Dexfield Park.

    I wonder if all of those serial numbers were recorded because i’m sure that would also make any of those guns valuable today. My guess is that they were picked up by various law men and passed along and even traded for newer guns losing the valuable trail along the way.

    There is a photo of Bonnie holding a revolver, with her trigger finger indexed on the frame. IIRC, it’s not the only photo of her handling guns properly. Ahead of her time?

  7. Joe Huffman Says:

    I wonder why there is no public outcry about B&C guns being sold at auction but there would be (right?) if it were the guns used at Columbine or Virginia Tech.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
