A cruel joke?

I think it's a Smithinski & Wessovitch! :rotf:

Believe it or not, someone worked long and hard on building that pistol.

I'm not saying they did a good job but I'm sure they were proud of it. :grin:

 

[Wes/Tex]

Mud flaps and a coon tail would round it off nicely!

 

[hawkeye2]

:thumbsup: Needs a pair of fuzzy dice and fender skirts to be complete. :grin:

 

[M. De Land]

Wow, homelier than a mud fence! Does it shoot or husk corn? :rotf: Mike D.

 

[jaxenro]

I like it. It has that I'm do ugly I'm cute look

 

[theoldredneck]

What caliber/gauge is it and have you fired it? Some of the ugliest guns I have owned were the most fun to play with because they didn't require any special care or treatment. You could just load shoot and enjoy.

 

[zimmerstutzen]

Actually, you can own it. It is up for auction on-line right now.

I just copied the picture because of it's innovative design.

 

[Alden]

It's expensive because it is a one-of-a-kind custom piece. Not signed by the artist formerly known as "Duh."

 

[M. De Land]

Hey, that's what I should call some of my "mistakes" (One of a kind customs)! :rotf: Mike D.

 

[bpd303]

Yep...some of my ugliest guns shoot the best and are the most accurate. Now if this one could cook... :grin:

 

[hogslayer]

I think it might have a relation this side of the pond.


:wink: (Pete)

Looks fine compared to an under hammer listed recently and at a ridiculous price. Poorly finished and, worse yet, the lock was a flat bar that simply sat on the nipple, no half cock. One bump and blammo! If it surfaces again, I will post a pic. Makes your gun look like best quality. BTW, Turner Kirkland had a picture in the Dixie Gun catalogs of the first pistol he built as a boy. Very similar to the one above.

Now, that mule ear pistol is right purdy. I like it. :thumbsup:

 

[Wes/Tex]

Now, that mule ear pistol is right purdy. I like it. :

Yeah, Bill, that's a pretty relation! :wink:

 

[Rifleman1776]

Not bad. Actually looks like a pretty usable pistol.
However the wood is, ifn ye will pardon my saying, is IMHO, pretty awful. Looks like a hunk of 2x4.

 

[cynthialee]

I love the look of a mule ear lock.

 

[M. De Land]

What's the pin through the pistol grip about? Nail left in the wood from before it was a stock? Mike D.

You guys wouldn't be laughing if the gun zimmerstutzen posted had its ramrod.

A ramrod can make all the difference in the world.

Without it, the gun is sort of naked and as everybody knows sometimes things look a lot worse when everything is out in the open for everybody to see.
If the ramrod was there covering up some of the gun it might look like a treasure. :hmm:

Why, I bet if that pistol had it's ramrod you folks would be fighting among yourselves over who gets to own this one of a kind pistol! :rotf:
