    id still keep it around - if nothing else it would inspire a lot of conversations , actually i like it for just that reason - ive bought a couple pieces just for that reason - i keep them 

    Yea my friend bought it for $25, it’s a wall hanger now at the gun shop he works at. 

  2. I had 4 different county maps in my car when I was working full time. I really don’t miss em at all. I like my Apple Maps on my phone. It’s hooked up to my car (blue tooth) and she doesn’t talk if I have my radio on unless there’s an alert about a speed trap. If I have the radio off she will talk but I always have the radio on. They give me 2 or 3 choices of different routes. I think it’s awesome! 😎

    Rye, of course I know that was mine it was so ugly I gave it away.  You think it had a mate? No way  I could forget one that pitiful.  Irish ☘️ Pat, sass 19486

    Well the fact that there could be dozens of those out there and there’s no way of you proving it was actually yours especially with no serial number, I have to question it. Sorry pard. I agree with you on one thing,  that is one butt ugly piece! 😂 If it was yours I don’t blame you for getting rid of it!

    yes it was mine. A deputy friend of mine gave it to me and told me to keep it at the bank in case we were robbed. It was a joke! I had it for years and finally gave it away for someone else to gets laughs out of it. No way I would ever try to shoot it or sell it. it was fun to show to guys in law enforcement that didn’t know to well at the time. 

    Wait , the gun that I showed pictures of was your gun? How did it end up in Ohio? How do you know it was yours? I’m confused.😕 


    My friend works at a gun shop and someone brought this in and he bought it for $25

    that is a piece of home made junk. A deputy gave it to me. He took it from a bum. I kept it here in the bank in case we were robbed. I finally gave it to T Bone years ago. I believe there is writing under the barrel.  Irish ☘️ Pat

    So you’re saying this was your gun? That’s how I’m reading this! 🙄🤣

  7. Our good pard Prairie Dawg is in the hospital. Apparently he had a mini stroke Thursday night. I just talked to him this morning and he’s bored and waiting for rehab to get busy on him. He’s having trouble walking. Anyway, keep him in your prayers. I’m hoping for the best!🙏🏻🙏🏻

    It is a "Flobert" style parlor pistol.

    Usually "true" Floberts were a bit more embellished/ fancy. (the above is one I have in my shop right now).

     

    But this style of single shot hammered rolling block pistols have all kind of fallen under that banner.

     

    Many gunsmiths and gun makers made their own variants - almost all were 22 caliber.

    Thanks, I’ll forward the info, much obliged!🤠

    Per AI Overview:

    "It comes from the Scots and Scots-Irish phrase "redd," which means to clear, arrange, or make tidy. Brought to America by early settlers, it remains a common colloquialism in Pennsylvania, Appalachia, and parts of the Midwest. [1, 2, 3]"

    My mom’s family is in PA and I’ve lived in the Midwest all my life and never heard “redd” used as cleaning or tidying up! 🙄
