My great grandfather was the Sheriff of a Texas Hill Country county back in the 1930s. This is one of his guns and his handcuffs with a picture of him in a display box I built for my dad a couple of years ago.

My buddy from across the bay, SFPD old school "Magnum Force".
S&W Model 19, 4" bbl 357 Magnum, standard carry for officers back
in the day. The S&W Model 19 with the department issued Hoyt holster.
The crowd pleaser, "Dirty Harry" S&W Model 29, 6 1/2 bbl 44 Magnum,
his other gun. I guess he's dating himself

1964 vintage 10-6. I bought this from a friend not too long ago. The backstrap is stamped BP and a number. My friend bought it in Arizona in 1979 from a place that did a lot of police surplus sales. It had rubber grips on it when I got it but I slapped these $5.00 ebay specials on it.

R Lee Emery has a show called "Lock N' Load" on the history channel, this is similar to his other show called "Mail Call". I love how they show the history and function of the swords, knives, revolvers, pistols, rifles, canons and assorted vehicles/gears. A fun show which highlights the history of arms.
Each of the firearms and assorted swords/knife shown have some history, whether for hunting, law enforcement, warfare or defense, each piece holds a meaning, a personal treasure, and needless to say our passion for history and arms. If you have firearms whether a re-production or authentic piece, I am grateful for your interest. Be safe.

As a teenager back in the early 80’s, I built this Colt Navy .44 from a Connecticut Valley Arms kit.
