Guys,

I had in my shop a nice curly maple pistol stock blank that was quite big.  Looking at it, I thought "maybe I can squeeze two stocks out of this".  Well it turned out to be 1 - 1/2 stocks from the single blank.  The big one is an American mid-century pistol, 12" barrel, 0.44 caliber, rifled.  The little one is a bit of a "fantasy", a Lehigh valley style pocket pistol, 5" barrel, 0.34 caliber, smooth bore.

That larger American pistol is a beauty.  I love the flowing lines and finishes.  Nicely done.  God Bless,   Marc

They are both super nice pistols.  The full size one is an excellent pistol and I really like it.  The little guy is something I'd like to carry.

Very nice set.   That pocket pistol should fit nicely in a weskit or coat pocket.

Both really nice, but the little one just has "IT"!!   ;)
