A Unique Pair of USFA's

[Capt. John Fitzgerald]

Stopped by one of my favorite gun stores yesterday (DJ's in Bothell, if you're reading this North Bender) and saw a beautiful set of USFA's that were obviously custom order guns.  Someone had brought them in and sold them.  No sooner had DJ's bought them than two of their employees purchased them.  Rats!!!!  They were...

Consecutively numbered 4 & 3/4", .45 SAA's.  Dome blue cylinder and barrel with CCH frame.  Back strap, trigger guard and ejector rod housing were also CCH.  They had select walnut grips and - here was the real eye catcher - CCH Bisley hammers.  Both guns came in the older style short, black boxes with the hinged lids.  Boxes had the old blue labels on the ends.  Haven't seen that box style in 6 or 7 years so I assume the guns are at least that old.  Both guns appeared to be unfired and were in pristine condition.
Can't blame the employees for snapping them up.  If I had been there when they came in I would have bought them both.
