Ole 97

[Caprock]

The thread on Ithacas got me going although I regretfully sold a really nice 16 ga. DR hinted about a 97 thread so here goes.

Some years ago I picked up this 1906 made 97 for the obvious....knockout wood. Its not a trap grade but sure has the makings. In fact not sure I've seen better wood on a 97.

This pic also shows an ole N.R. Davis hammer double and a Natchez bowie I made up with a cold browned blade (I don't know why...was browning a barrel and thought well why not?)
