A Red nine, and a 1911 Commercial

[NavyShooter]

Gents,

I picked up a new (to me) Red Nine today.

$550, figured it wasn't a bad deal.

Here's a series of photos of the Red nine versus a 1911 commercial that's in my collection.

When Badger gets home, maybe we want to do up a MKL entry on it?

Neat old guns.

When I was 9 years old, (1961) I traded my bicycle for one.

To say my Daddy was ****ED would be an understatement! I got my butt wore out he took me back to the friend I'd traded and the old folks made us undo the deal.

Both of us kids had trouble sittin' comfortable for a few days.


I show him what they are worth nowadays and he still won't laugh about it. He's 88 and I'm 57 and he still won't forgive me for swappin' off my bike that he GAVE me.

Nice looking brooms. Don't see many around. Looks like a good buy on the red nine, #'s match? Mines a 1916 commericial, must not have been used much, still very tight and great bore, got lucky.

Very nice. I'd love to see that included in the Library, NavyShooter.

Very cool. I remember when those were not worth selling they were so cheap. Don't see many anymore though. Great score. Thanks for sharing.
