Yup, carriage mounted with the secondary ammunition carriage. I keep volunteering to put on one of those Blue Belly Union uniforms he has if he'll let me fire it. He just laughs but who knows?

He just purchased a bunch of Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West show stuff from one of Bill's performers descendants. It's truly like walking into a museum in this guy's house. The door to his gun room is an old Wells Fargo bank vault door (10" thick.) I'm stunned and amazed every time I visit, at what his latest acquisitions are.

I'm repairing his old Philco 40-120 tabletop tube radio that belonged to his grandma. When I showed him my dagger he pulled out half a dozen better officer's models. He wanted to buy mine but I had to decline. I have three older brothers who would gleefully draw and quarter my sorry ass if I did.
