Great Stuff to show ......

[Arizona Cattleman]

Howdy Pards, I am coming to ya from Denver CO where I am visiting my big Sister.  We found a box of old things in the basement crawl space I never new existed from my Father.  There is a pair of old shotgun chaps he wore on the ranch, three bridles and bits, several pairs of spurs and one set is fancy with spur straps and a bowie knife with a blade that is about 15 to 18 inches long with a bone and brass handle.  I am just beside my self with this find.  When I get back to Arizona I'll get some pics up for ya all to see.  Have a happy Thanksgiving and God Bless ya all and your families.

WOW,  better than a big dip of tobakky, and if you knew how much I want one sometimes you would understand!  I would take tht big ole knife and get some auto grease oil on it for a short spell, afterwards it will come out with a nice old color.  Is the leather cracking or dusting badly?

[GunClick Rick]

Dang! Any maker marks?Nice spurs and that whip looks like a real good one like hand done,wonder if it;s roo leather?

A tip of the hat and a toast to DAD Looks like he had what he needed.

[Arizona Cattleman]

Slowhand, the leather is in great condition, still pliable, but has been folded for many years and laying flat, so I don't think it will take much conditioning, also they are rough side out, so I can condition from the inside.  The scabbard is the same but the stiching is rotted, I am redoing that .
