A few of pics for y'all PICS UPDATED

First,
My Taurus 92 AF that I Dura-Coated in light earth and olive drab, and worked the action over. This is now one sweet shooting gun.
This gun is NOT a decocker or trigger disconnect so I can carry it Cocked -N-Locked just like my Kimber.




Next is a first issue Case XX bowie commemorative that my leathersmith gave me for a walking stick I made him.





This knife is like new never sharpened [other than the factory edge] and has a star on both sides on the bottom of the hilt which places it in the early/mid 60's manufacture. The sheath has just a few small nicks on it and could use a new hitt strap as the one on it is a bit dry rotted.
I'm really pumped about this knife .I love factory commemoratives and this is an early one .
Wish I had the correct box for it, but they're running around $300.00 in 100% shape and the knife like mine is worth somewhere around $200.00 give or take.

Jim is a great guy and takes good care of me . He does great leather work and has cut me some real deals on knives and custom leather work.

Nice knife. That must have been some walking stick. What did it look like?

 

[loaded round]

Maybe you should trade that Taurus for a decent camera.

Truth :mrgreen:

Actually..Lou spent a lot of money and time learning how to shoot gun glamor shots. :wink:

Seriously Lou, your gun work deserves better photos.

Welcome back big guy!

Just so y'all know , those pics were taken with my cell phone that still had the clear protective cover on the lens .That's why their fuzzy looking .My bad.
Kevin, I'll take a pic of it next time I swing by Jim's place .
Loaded round. As far as my Taurus goes , you couldn't give me two new Beretta's for it .After the trigger job I did on it will out shoot ANY Beretta out there.

Lou, I have a Taurus PT100 (.40 S&W) stainless. It was my first Taurus pistol. Accurate as all get out. Its one of my house guns and is kept stashed in a strategic spot in the event of an emergency. I'll never sell it.

I went back and retook the pics with the protective cover off. These are much better.
My camera on my phone is 8 M.P. so it takes pretty good pics, I'm still learning to use it .
I hear ya R.P. this gun had a horrible trigger so I worked it over. Now the D.A. is much smother,shorter and lighter[ maybe 10 L.B.S.] and the S/A. is scary light w/ almost no take up and no over travel at all and about 3 pounds.
Lou
BTW, I'll never use this knife for anything ,it's strictly a collector's piece . It will go in my display cabinet with all my other rare knives.

Lou, don't take me seriously, I was just pulling your chain a bit since among other things I'm a serious amateur photographer and have a tendency to critique other photo's. I've posted some really crappy ones online myself. Good luck with your Taurus!

That's cool L.R. we just upgraded to smart phones and I've just figured out how to make a call on it much less realized that there was a protective film over the lens LOL.

Hey Kevin,
Here's the pics of the walking stick I made for my leather smith who gave me that super cool early 70's case commemorative Bowie knife.
