Dewey Cheatem, SASS #75620 Posted October 21, 2024 Posted October 21, 2024 It’s a very long shot but has anyone around the Illinois area seen these pistols. I let them get away many years ago and would like to find them. Update: they went to Buck Elroy around Effingham Illinois. Does anyone know him
watab kid Posted October 21, 2024 Posted October 21, 2024 boy - that is a long shot , but wish you luck in your quest , this is where it might happen if the stars align just right ,
Dewey Cheatem, SASS #75620 Posted October 21, 2024 Author Posted October 21, 2024 I had it saved in my emails but Gmail deleted all my emails in 2017. It’s a very long shot but it’s worth a try
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted October 21, 2024 Posted October 21, 2024 That's a pretty distinctive engraving pattern, so if someone saw another shooter with them they might remember that. Good luck.
Dewey Cheatem, SASS #75620 Posted October 21, 2024 Author Posted October 21, 2024 Kelly Laster did them for me around 2010. Irish theme was what I was going for. They were beautiful. I was going thru a hard time in life and had to sell them.
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted October 21, 2024 Posted October 21, 2024 Don't you know who you sold them to?
Doc Hurd #12379 Posted October 21, 2024 Posted October 21, 2024 Are you on Facebook? If so I could share with quite a few of my Illinois cowboy friends.

doc roy l. pain Posted October 22, 2024 Posted October 22, 2024 Ain’t Dunnit probably has them hid away somewhere lol
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted October 22, 2024 Posted October 22, 2024 Dewey, found a post from 2015 where you were looking for guns you had previously sold to Buck Elroy in Illinois. Looked like you were about to get them back, though. Did that fall through?

Been off the wire awhile. Now I just have to find contact info
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted October 23, 2024 Posted October 23, 2024 @Buck Elroy signed up on the Wire in '09, only made 1 post and last visited in 2013. But you can send him a PM and if he still has the same email address, he should get it.
Roland Thunder Posted October 23, 2024 Posted October 23, 2024 I had the same quest but for a 1911. I found the guy and offered to buy or trade him for the 1911. He told me to pack sand. I hope your quest works out for you.

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted October 26, 2024 Posted October 26, 2024 That is truly amazing. Hopefully you can work out a deal.
Horace Patootie, SASS #35798 Posted October 26, 2024 Posted October 26, 2024 Years ago, I had a pair of OMV birdshead pistols and a pair of OMV 7.5" pistols; both sets stainless. I switched gripframes on them and really liked the 7.5" birdshead pistols and the now 3.75" plowhandle Rugers which I still have. I sold the 7.5 inchers to a guy whose alias was Whitey Osius, and I have tried to contact him to see if he would sell them back to me. However, I can't locate him now. Horace
SGT. ELI 35882 GUNFIGHTER Posted October 27, 2024 Posted October 27, 2024 I shoot at Effingham but do not recall a Buck Elroy, I will ask around.
Lonesoms Al SASS37893 Posted October 27, 2024 Posted October 27, 2024 I shoot at Effingham and have since it started., vaguely remember the alias but can't quite put a face to it. Have no idea his real name or where he was from. Like Sarge I'll ask around.
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted October 27, 2024 Posted October 27, 2024 Y'all don't need to ask around, Dewey has already contacted him.
