Title: Rewarded myself
Post by: mike116 on December 07, 2021, 06:49:57 PM: The past year has pretty good for the leather business. I have taken on some really boring work like repairing ladies purse straps and making replacement pieces for old compass cases and lots of other general repair type work. In the long run it has all added up to a pretty good year so I rewarded my self today. My wife also reminded me that my birthday is next week and Christmas is on the way so with her encouragement it was easy to convince myself to make the purchase.

Uberti 1875 Schofield, Charcoal Blue, Color case hardened frame, black buffalo horn grips (faux), 7 inch barrel, 45 Colt

The photos don't do this revolver justice, I'll try to get better pics in a day or two.

Regular Goex will foul up the top break revolvers. I'll play around some with it. I have Old Ensford and several subs like T7 and Pyrodex. I have some Trail Boss too if it comes down to that.

Those S&W revolvers are a work of art. And hard to find too I believe. Nice score.
