[QUOTE="Nighthawk, post: 1399023, member: 3906"] I picked up another Merwin Hulbert & Co. Pistol at this last gun show. This one is a first issue. 44 Russian. One of the ones with no top strap. I purchased it from another vendor, so i had to give quite a lot for it. he purchased it years ago in Georgia. Boy, if these pistols could talk, the tales they could tell. At least that was what I was thinking as I cleaned this one up, oiled and greased it. It has great suction so that means it is in great shape. It looks great too. I will try to post some pictures of it. A side note: When I was at the Big 'W' show I got a sad look at myself several years from now. There was an old man on the bottom floor, who had several cases of Merwin Hulbert & Co. Pistol's. his wife sitting next to him. The pistols were the best I had ever seen, I asked him how much he wanted for one that was Birds head Scull Crusher, he said $18,000. I said boy I wish I had that much because that is a nice gun. His wife chimed in and said " those guns have been sitting in those cases for years because he will not come down on the price, he will never sell them, when he dies I will sell them for pennies on the dollar, and there is nothing he can do about it." of course a fight began between the two. Reality just set in when I started thinking about what she said. That is going to be me, if I continue collecting these things.. All you can do is look at them. [/QUOTE]
