Got up a few parts for a fun little pistol an talked too an struck up a deal with Joe Schell of Ill. Told Joe to try an make me something that a poor southern redneck might have carried in his belt for comfort while he is in an old backwoods tavern. I told him nothing fancy just a good solid pistol and to throw some age on it. I like em like that. Well it came by post rider today an im tickled with the feel and the looks. I think he nailed it. The lock is a Chambers queen anne pistol lock. The barrel is a Charles Burton 7 inch .62 cal oct to round smoothbore that has a bit of a flare at the muzzle. The walnut is a blank from Mr Curt Lyles from Ind and Joe hand forged the rest. He put me in a Chambers vent also. Its meant for short range work so I told him not mess with a sight. This is the first work of Joe's that I have seen an handled in person an after a close look an feel I like his work plus he was a pleasure to do business with and was very timely with the project and his communication was excellent. I intend this to be a snake charmer with some shot an just a good little fun gun
