You are always calling me "Old Cowboy" and I can't figure out why? Mayby you think I look like one or is it because of my old mode of transportation I used to use? I still have a little bit of it laying about. Here's one of the three saddles I still have. This one was my favorite. Solid brass horn so it your horse ever went down on ya you wouldn't suffer long 'cause that horn would kill ya quick.
It has built in saddle bags on both sides and I have another set I could tie on behind if I wanted to haul along more gear.
A well worn Win. '94 carbine goes in the saddle scabbard that tues onto the right rear and a early 4-2/3" black powder model SA in .45 L.C.. a pair of knee high Calvary boots that fit good, a pair of Crockett sivler engraved spurs, and on the cantel is an old folding hoof pick and a skeleton key on a leather concho fob that fits the bunkhouse door and a lariat that I have had for over 45 years. It never did see much use.
There ain't a lick of finish left on this old SA. Ome piece walnut grips were on the old models. It was much later that the came out with two piece grips.
The early BP models had what they called the "Bulls Eye" ejector rod. You can see it here pretty easy right under the barrel.
The early BP models also had a different cylinder pin release. It was a threaded head screw that you had to back off so the cylinder pind could be pulled out so you could remove the cylinder. They later used a push-button system. The guy must have had the hicups the day he hand stamped the patent dates on this one.
The oldie still shoots O.K. I dusted a ground squirrel with it at 25 yards last spring.
