Pic 1 - I just finished these grips, I don't often get a chance to cut a set for myself. This revolver turns out to be a fast draw model, theres a brass grip frame hiding under that chrome. I had my suspicians, and I pricked it with the head of a drill bit inside the frame. I think I can tie this to a late 50's ad where Great Western offered mixed finishes for an additional $10. Pic 2 - A new EMF Great Western II .357 with a Great Western .38 circa 1954. I think the GW II's are really well made.   |

Great looking revolvers and beautiful grips. Are those yours on the top gun in the second photo?

I did not make the grips on the 7 1/2 .38 - those are vintage Sambar stag.

I just saw a 4.75 .44spl great western in fantastic shape at Gander Mountain in Brainerd Mn. for $299.00 pretty danged good for for a old great western I'd grab it if I wasn't in the hole so bad. The guy's at the counter didn't seem to know a thing about them.

Called Gander in Baxter / Brainerd, sold Friday apparently. Too bad, would have been a nice day trip.
No, they didn't know a thing about them. I asked about the Great Western, and he at first said yes, we had a Vaquero that sold.

My father bought the Vaquero the other day. the Great Western was marked 1851 navy .44spl. I thought it might not stay around long, Maybe you could ask if they had the navy still avalible.
