Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff

The buck is now at a taxidermist getting a European style mount and he will age him.

Our flintlock season starts right after Christmas and will run a few weeks. ...

Re: what is the rarest case knife you have??

The knife measures at 4 5/8 inchs closed. I don't think the spey is oversized, that's just how they where made back in the day. I believe Case made a smaller version recently but not sure in the Tested Era. Thanks for the comments guys. Mike

This may be a reach but how about Civilian Conservation Corps that was operating from 33 until 42. That would put the stamp close. Mike

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. The wife and I would usually spend the day at camp near Ludlow than ride over to GEC and pickup a couple off the showroom floor, not this year. Everyone take care and stay healthy. Mike

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff

Here is my 5025-5 with the Bakelite pommel. Picked it up a little over three years ago and our very own David Anthony (Pa Knives) put me in touch with Brad Wood. Brad also told me that it's only one of four that he's aware of. One interesting thing he noted was the sheath although period correct was...

Here's a shot of my 10/22 it's a 50th anniversary model that will print 1 inch groups at 50 yards all day if I do my part. It will go to my grandson this Christmas. That means Gramps will have to get another one ::ds::

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff

Camillus, if you're referring to the pic posted by rangerblue that rifle is a AR15 model SP1 with the old style hand guards and bayonet lug ( pre ban). I believe he just pulled a pic to show the difference between the two.
