Well fiddle sticks fellows my expiration date has jump out at me. For sale as a very nice collection I'm offering the following price of $25,000.00 plus shipping or delivery 500 to 600 miles from my GA location. I'd classify the condition of all the guns at 97% or better.

All of the Vaqueros have had a mild action work done, nothing radical. I believe all but 3 of this collection have the boxes and some papers to go with them.

The first set of 8 plowhandle are large frame models, grips from Chigs, stainless are quilted maple died transparent black, the CCB are red mallee burl from Australia.

The Birdhead set of 8, are large frame Vaqueros. The 3&3/4 inch barrels are true birdheads, the other six have been converted. I guess one could convert them back to plowhandle and most likely make money on the conversion back. The grips from Chigs, stainless are quilted maple died transparent black, the CCB are red mallee burl from Australia.

The set of 5 are New Vaqueros mid-frame. The grips are elk stag from Patrick Grashorn.

I have about 14 or 16 of these locks that go with the guns.

That's really impressive!


Would love to see the octagons when they are available. Would REALLY love if one was a stainless bisley with a 4 5/8" barrel.


Approximate location in GA?

Spoke to Tyler last night he's going to list them in his store I think. He had mentioned several time he has had some his Texans in and out of his place looking at them with an Oh Wow. No to the stainless, one is a Plowhandle and the other is Bisley both blue 4 &1/2 barrels. I had money on account with him, he is refunding so I'm not sure what price he'll asking.

Wow, I completely missed this thread. Haven't heard about the health issue, either. You will be in my prayers. You have an excellent eye for custom handguns. Bobby Tyler is working on one for me as well, but mostly basic action work. These are beautiful. So thankful they sold for you. I have followed your threads with great interest and hope you can beat this issue.
