Thanks to all for the nice comments . This bunch of pistols were all just "spare part" guns. I always look for used or inexpensive locks at shows. When I don`t have much money tied up ,it makes it more fun. I`ve noticed that most builders these days build copies of the fine , high quality, surviving original pistols. I like those too. But my books are full of the" funkier " American made pieces and, I like those too . If I had a ton of money tied up in one I`d probably have to build it more like the more conventional ones. I also prefer more unique guns, not really big on the 'cookie cutter" stuff , no matter how well done, if it looks just like a million more ,I probably won`t get too stirred up .
