Dewey Cheatem, SASS #75620 Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 (edited) 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 Edited October 23 by Dewey Cheatem, SASS #75620 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewey Cheatem, SASS #75620 Posted October 21 Author Share Posted October 21 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 That's a pretty distinctive engraving pattern, so if someone saw another shooter with them they might remember that. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewey Cheatem, SASS #75620 Posted October 21 Author Share Posted October 21 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 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? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 @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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Thunder Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horace Patootie, SASS #35798 Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 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.
