Guns for Leather
Horse Tradin' the Old-Fashioned Way
Will Trade Leather for Guns
The other day, a fella' asked me if I would be interested in trading a double action Starr cap 'n ball revolver for some leather. I've always liked the Starrs, mainly 'cause they are just ugly guns. But, ever since I learned the 1st Colorado Mounted Volunteers, (the precursor to today's Colorado Mounted Rangers), had been issued Starrs during the Civil War, I've wanted one, or two, or three.
I'm always lookin' for guns to stuff in holsters for photos. Because I'm lookin' for pistols, mainly to photograph in holsters, fancy grips are always a plus, (I'm partial to authentic ivory and bone). I'm only interested in guns I can shoot.
How It Works
- Tell me what you want out of your gun
- If it sounds reasonable, send me a photo
- If I like the gun, we agree on a price
- I'll give you the agreed upon dollar amount (less the $55 fee for transferring cartridge weapons through my local FFL dealer) in my catalogue priced leather goods
- Ship the weapon to my FFL dealer, and I'll ship you the leather
