As Hawg mentioned, it would be great to fill this place with pics.

I'll go first to kick things off. This is my 72. Just like most any other, except this gun was carried by the actor that plays Virgil Earp in the OK Corral Shootout reenactment in Tombstone, AZ and has been fired (blanks) many times inside the OK Corral. I had the arbor fixed and a general tune-up done. It came with faux ivory grips, but the original wood was far better looking.



Let's see yours!!

That's a very fine pistol. The grips are spectacular. You seldom see them look that good. I can see why you put them back on. And it's a '72. Outstanding piece.

The only thing I have with any degree of chatoyance is the piece of mahogany I made into a guitar body.

I'll just leave this here.

I've owned a couple 72' throughout the years they always seem to become my favorites. I have my eye on one now, hopefully everything will work out

Marshal, Wow., a luthier as well? Had to look the word up though...uh...not luthier...I mean the word chatoyance??

Mick, she's a beauty.....those grips are VERY nice. thanks for sharing.

[Marshal Will]

Those open tops are really beautiful guns. Those are fine examples, pards.

Thanks, Z. I only made a few for my own satisfaction. They were fun to make. Don't play any more, though, so there's no need to make any more.

Although the '72 was a transitional model, I like them better than just about any other single action. Conversions being up there with them. Yeah, top strap frames are stronger but the open tops balance so much better. In my opinion, that is.

Thanks, Mike. It was a fun one to make. That mahogany cuts like butter.

Thanks, Mick. That mahogany was an outstanding piece. I don't want to hijack this thread so here's a link to a thread on another forum that shows it completed.

Beautiful axe, Marshal! You no longer play?

Thanks, Cap. Too many times trashing fingers and shoulders. That fine control on the strings just isn't there anymore. I wasn't all that good to start with so it isn't a great loss. I'm much better at building than playing, anyway.
