Stainless DA's pretty much stock. Holly grips on the Security Six.

My Flat Tops----(top) unaltered 357 with homemade cow bone grips. Single Six 22 with homemade Texas ebony grips. Wood came from a hurricane blowdown on the King Ranch. (Bottom) 44MAG, 7 1/2" barrrel. Homemade elk horn grips, reportedly from the biggest elk killed in Colorado in 1948.

NM Super Blackhawk---topstrap flattened, backstrap straightened, standard hammer, cow bone grips. Old model Blackhawk---topstrap flattened, gripframe polished, holly grips. Originally a 357, converted to 44 SPL by Alan Harton.

My Vaqueros---(from top) Big Vaquero 45 LC, horse bone grips. 2 New Vaqueros, both 45 LC, horse bone grips on blued gun, cow bone on stainless gun. All engraved (somewhat crudely) by me. Always wanted one of them shiny pistols with cattle brands engraved on it.

And here they are again.

The Vaqueros in homemade holsters (commonly called "skalberts" here in east Texas.) Most useful is the IWB.

Here they are again with my sho-nuff carry gun and its homemade IWB.

Wow! ! ! ! I hate people that can do that. "No not really". If I could, every gun that I had would be engraved.

maxpress--All of the blades shown in the pictures came from Atlanta Cutlery. I reshaped some of them, made the handles, and engraved the blades on most of them. The dagger you asked about has some of the same horse bone that I used on 2 of the Vaqueros.

Extremely nice collection there. Your Harton 44 special looks very similar to "Skeeter's last sixgun" featured many years ago in G&A. Quality work throughout.

Love those Vaqueros and the 1911. Looking at your avatar, have you ever read "Confederates in the Attic"?
