Then, right after you'd bought them my wife walks in and says----

"You need to go on line and buy them."



Oh, well.... Enjoy them.

Oh thats gotta sting
a little

They are a beautiful set

Well it did sting. A lot.

So to take the sting out I went to Cabelas on Sunday and bought a 1969 Colt Agent 38 Special with little to no wear.

It's a beauty. Can't wait to shoot it.

Thats a Cool Looking Gun! and I dare say cost a bit more than the vintage set of seven you sadly missed.

We are not allowed hand guns over here

It does make the loss seem less injurous, somehow. And, yes, it was quite a bit more expensive. I had passed on the 7 day set both times it was offered since I was setting the funds aside for a new (to me) snub nose "Dick Tracy Special". I was suprised to find a Colt is such good shape (97 - 99 percent by my estimate) for less than $1000.00.

It's a shame that the country that gave birth to so many other lands has come to such a sorry state. I fear that my country is attempting to walk down the same path. Hopefully the great state I live in (Texas) will be the lone hold-out.

Or, as they say, "From my cold, dead hands."

Amen Brother Amen

Medic, I hope you're gonna show us the rest of those razors...

I don't think the crown in those stamps is the same as a royal warrant which means the manufacturer supplied goods to the court.

there's pic in the respective razor clubs and I plan on adding to the wiki as well

and that is a royal warrent stamp

Actually I don't think I've seen a razor from undisputed holder of royal warrant who had a crown in their stamp. They do spell out 'cutlers to his/her/their majesty(ies)' though. I always thought the royal initials along with a crown were just fashionable for a while as a way to indicate the period. But obviously I don't know all that much about it and go with what I've learned from people who seem to have more experience in this.
Perhaps some of them will chime in.
