Almost a Brassie!

[Axehandle]

This is as close to a brassie as you can get without being a real brassie!
Letters as a June '71 edition that included a brass grip frame with the gun...

NICE SUPER :!: :!: Those grip panels are really great--I have always thought supers had some really nice figured walnut in them --thanks for picture from Limestone co. :wink:

Nice one, Axe! Boxes?

Especially the grip frame box?

No boxes...
But that helps me deny the tag "collector"

This looks quite alot like one I saw about 3 or 4 weeks ago at the last Alaska Gun Collector's gun show. The guy selling it wasn't actually advertising it as a brassie, just that he had a letter that showed the brass frame came with the gun which justified a quite higher price. I want to say he wanted $800 or $900 for it but am not positive...don't remember if he had the original frame for it or not. The brass frame was on the weapon and about the same vintage if I remember correctly. If you just got this one, I wonder if they are one and the same........ :?:

Man, that's nice Axe

 

[Axehandle]

While I couldn't be 100% sure it does sound like the guns have the same type pedigree.... Alabama is a long way from Alaska.... :wink:

Neat package. With the letter stating the brass grip frame was shipped with the gun it belongs in a collection of brass guns. Excellent find.

Nice one. Looks great whether an "official" brass SBH or not. Sure is in my book. Thanks for the pics!!!
