Model 92 in 32-20 from 1907. Marbles, Gladstone tang sight.

By the way, that's a very cool, and classy ensemble of weaponry Leadeye !

Mouse needs something like that to go with the suspenders.

Yeah I am drooling over here.

Thanks MM, except for the whiskey they are all from the same era. The rifle is 1907, the Colt SAA in 44-40 is 1902 and the Heiser holster can only be dated from 1900 to 1924.

Yeah I am drooling over here.

I actually lucked-in to that hat, long ago..... it's a good story, so please let me tell it.

There is a yearly rodeo in the small town of Walden, Colorado .... north, almost into Wyoming, and it's mostly a rodeo of local participants .... but very serious ones !
So, I had forgot my usual hat .... left it at home. With my bald head, I needed something, as the Rocky Mountain sun will burn-up your head in no time flat.

The town was so little, that there wasn't anyplace to buy a western hat, so I ended-up driving 80 miles (round trip) to a fabulous western clothing store. There sat that hat .... a Stetson, made from beaver. Now mind you ..... this hat was pre-owned as were 50% of the other cowboy hats. It had belonged to a 'local' rodeo hero, the sales lady told me ... she had dated him !

I snatched-up that hat for $50 (and found out later that they sell new for $800 ..... yes, that's right, EIGHT HUNDRED freakin' dollars). It fit me perfectly.

I drove back to Walden, CO, and made it just in time for the start of the rodeo.

--- THE END ---

Still watching The Irishman and have no idea how far along we are in the movie. It’s good, but just keeps going and going.

Those were my thoughts as well. Good, but just so so long.

 

[Leadeye]

Good story on the hat.

That covers a lot of time.

Good story on the hat.

Thanks ! ..... I found a photo that I took from the small bleachers. It was called the "Never Summer Rodeo". As you can see, it's staged in an arena with quite a lovely backdrop of mountains.

 

[MindfulMan]

Night all!

Not so fast, gangster ! ..... what's your hurry ?

 

[SarahG]

Night all!

We’ll take night crew from here.
