Sourdough has left the building...

[Erwan]

Good evening everyone,

This is not really an opening of a topic and even less an opening of a debate.

I am very sad to have learned only a few minutes ago of the death of Surdough (Jim), other side of the Pond.
I liked this man very much and can only try to share my sorrow with those here on this forum who knew him well. Jim was always interesting, calm and level headed.

I will miss him here and elsewhere.

If you want to honor him, drink an Early time to his memory..

Erwan.

Yes it is a sad day. He was a wealth of imformation on Colt style repo revolvers. He will be missed on a bunch of black powder forums.
Adios Jim, RIP

We heard of this a few days ago. I’ll link this thread with another on another bp page. Many people were influenced and informed by their friendship with Jim and he’ll be sorely missed...

Rest In Peace! All I have on hand is Jack Daniels Rye but I just knocked back a couple of jiggers for him.

Jim will be sadly missed by many in the black powder community. He was a wealth of knowledge as well as a gentleman and cut a wide swath on many black powder forums. Rest in peace, sir.

Thank you, @Erwan . I had not heard of Jim's death until now. He was a trove of information on cap and ball revolvers, and always happy to share his knowledge and expertise, on the open forum or in private conversations.

Sincere condolences to his family and his many friends.

Jim went by other names on other forums...Expat_Alaska for one. There may have been others as well.

Sorry to hear this. Jim was a great person with a wealth of knowledge. Always willing to share and help. He will be missed.

One of those folks without any enemies and everyone claiming to be best friends with. One of the good guys.

That said, thread needs to be in the ‘Beyond the Great Divide’ sub-forum. I am confident the moderators will soon move it.

Didn`t really know him for more than a few messages, but gave me great advice on what to look for when buying brass framed revolvers.

If I knew another forum was destined to that kind of posts, I have done it, unfortunately I didn't know that...

This information has fallen when I was on a French forum where Sourdough was frequently connected, so I came here with the sadness of having lost a good forum relationship from here and other places, to share it with others, with you all...
Never mind, I Know I'll see Expat Sourdough somewhere (maybe in a not so long time) to drink together an "Early Times" like he was frequently saying...

The important thing is that you got the information about Sourdough out there. Thank you for sharing. No criticism intended as to your choice of sub forums. I only mentioned it because sometime threads move and folks are confused or surprised.

That's sad to hear I have tried to reach out to him about a Dance Revolver I have just purchased

 

[Smokey Plainsman]

Well ****. I'm sorry to hear of his passing, his writings on the percussion revolver will go on and help others for years. Great man.
