NICE Congress there!

I have a few Queen reproduction/contract knives.

Both of these Marbles were made by Queen, the first one is a Redbone Teardrop Jack and the second is a Stag English Jack.

I also have this Repo' of a Remington 1306, it's from the 1970's under the Bowen name, but it's a Queen contract also.

Hi Johnnie,

That is one nice Congress, I like it...

As you can see from my avatar I collect Robeson knives and I have to say that even though I have tried to collect the original Robeson knives only, the beauty and craftsmanship of the Queen/Robeson knives have been incredible in my opinion. So beautiful in fact that I find myself here lately finding more of the Queen versions attractive than the older (and sometimes a little rough) Robesons, God forbid did I just say that... :shock:

I recommend if you get a chance to read the history of Robeson and Queen for that matter on the main page knife history section. It's amazing the long history of these knife makers...

Here are a couple of Robeson/Queen Canoes & a Blue Whittler

And speaking of Queen Repro's, here's a picture of my Queen/Northwoods Scagel repro. This is the closest thing I have to a custom knife, and I can't imagine a custom being much nicer:

That revolver is a 1981 New Model Blackhawk, in .357. It will shoot .38s...even those snakeshots... :mrgreen:

Technically, I guess the Queen Mountain Man Lockback is a reproduction, or at least an imitation of the old Remington Tracker pattern. Here's a picture of mine in sambar stag and 1095 carbon steel:

...REALLY nice Ruger...
Yeah, that's what I was going to say, .357 isn't legal in Mexico, 38 special is... but there's no way that one could fine a nice one like that over here.

Come visit Luis...

We'll eat scorpion stew, crink Drown Royal, smoke cigars, and maybe squeeze off a few rounds at the rattlesnakes...all legally, of course. :mrgreen:
