A few old Cripple Creeks
Re: A few old Cripple Creeks
I love the color of that stag. It looks like vintage Case 1960's stag coloring. A lot of makers can't seem to get that color on their stag anymore.

The pearl gunstock is a 1981 Cargill AECA knife. Great pearl, half stops, and solid knife all around. The copperhead is just a nice stag knife. I don't see a lot of cripple creek copperheads. Finally a nice strawberry bone banana trapper.
How long is that banana trapper? That's a sweet piece!
