Just for fun a small display of Winchester and Colt firearms and accessories. An 1884 vintage carbine in .44 WCF, along with an 1883 vintage Colt Frontier Six Shooter. Landers, Frary & Clark clip point bowie hunter knife, handcuffs, reloading tools.

I call myself a collector as it sounds better than hoarder

Bill, nice display. Is the Colt an etched panel?

Chuck, you are correct, the Colt is an etched panel Frontier Six Shooter. It’s worn but still legible. I am not a Colt collector, but I have several SAA’s that compliment my Winchester rifles/carbines.

I do collect some Colts. I have 3 SAA’s. An etched panel 4-3/4″, a 45 4 3/4″ and another 45 7″ that was issued to the cavalry. It’s kind of hard to have a Winchester collection without at least one SAA.
