COLT SAA 45LC Longbranch, first picture and more pictures...

Gawd JP, I'm going to hate seeing drag marks on that cylinder, but then again it would be hard to resist cocking it to listen to the four clicks. COLT

That pic was taken, literally, two minutes before it was repacked and shipped so it would be there in time for the Christmas tree!! :)
 
Very cool gun. The problem I would have is I'd have a hard time firing it. Don't get me wrong I would see that as a good problem to have.
 
One of Eight
During the course of his career as a lawman and gambler, Bat ordered a total of eight single-action revolvers from Colt’s. The most notable was an order made from Dodge City and written on Opera House Saloon stationary in July 1885 which stated:

Gents
Please send Me one of your nickel plated short .45 calibre revolvers. It is for my own use and for that reason I would like to have a little Extra pains taken with it. I am willing to pay Extra for Extra work. Make it very Easy on the trigger and have the front Sight a little higher and thicker than the ordinary pistol of this Kind. Put on a gutta percha handle and send it as soon as possible, have the barrel about the same length that the ejector rod is.

Truly Yours
W B Masterson
P.S. Duplicate the above order by sending 2

I wont have any problem shooting it, actually i am looking forward to, it must be fantastic, click, click, click, click... Boum... JP.
 
Beautiful gun. I am confused why the order from Bat clearly states gutta-percha grips but the reproduction doesn't have a modern equivalent. Instead it seems to have plain wood grips. Why not do it right?

Apparently, (hard to say from picture), they went all out with these wood grips, for the gutta percha i really did not see no explainations... JP.
