I'm still practicing at the old gun product shot type of thing.I have lots of coffee table type gun books and I subscribe to a few fine fire arm magazines. I have always been impressed with the photos of the guns in those types of publications. So I have been practicing at this type of photo. You never know when Shooting Sportsman will need someone to shot a cover photo.
This is a Colt 1849 Pocket Dragoon manufactured in Italy for Colt Blackpowder Arms. The hat is my old worn working cowboy hat. I have had the spurs for 40 years. They were a gift from an old neighbor. He told me that they were issued to him when he was in the US Cavalry during the 1920's.
