Maintaining Traditional Oil Skins and “Tin” Cloth

Cleaning kit and screwdriver are stored seperately to not keep a constant strain on the elastic loops. As an aside, I hunt with an 8&3/8" Nickel Model 29-2 and have taken deer with it using its iron sights. The S&W 44 Magnum/Model 29 are my favorite handguns.-Dick- budrichard

A Safari Jacket Potpourri.....lots of pics
When do you think the Brits first traveled Africa exploring? Certainly it was before the 1930's and that's when the Classic belt/Safari coat was developed. The scan is from a 1939 A&F Firearms Catalog clearly showing a Safari Jacket with a belt being offered. The next pic is a A&F Safari...- budrichard

If you like Smith & Wesson's, here is a 1958 44 Magnum with elephant ivory grips by Don Collins in its original box. The accompanying knife is a Full Skinner by Corbet Sigman. The gun of course was made famous by the movie 'Dirty Harry' but its fit and finish are among the best of any era of...- budrichard

It is roll marked Abercrombie and Fitch on the receiver sides and shown in a 1939 A&F catalog that i...- budrichard

I have the Filson and its a very nice coat. The best I have ever had is a Beretta made in Italy I got from the Beretta Boutique in New York.
