This is a
Nichols First Model Stallion 45. (OK, it's actually the 2nd variation of the
1st model.) The actual first model had the notches in the cylinder, but this
version was "cleaned up" and is the one that most people remember. I may have
even put it together (Mike Nichols). Probably not, but it is a good thought
from my point of view. Notice the one-piece box. There were, of course, two
different versions of the box—not counting Tex Tan's contribution. The
other version had a lid.

Here's a
Fanner 50, but the significance of this one is it's the only one I've (Andrew)
EVER seen from any of the collectors or any web searching with a highly
finished gold plated cylinder (like the Shootin Shell models) as they all came
with a sort of paint finished cylinder and in this condition Andrew says it's
probably the rarest gun he owns. It's a little hard to tell the cylinder is
gold plated, but the yellow sheen gives it away.

This is a
normal model Fanner but brand new old store stock.

And here's
another angle of a previous photo we've seen, but it compares the Fanner with
the gold cylinder by its counterpart with the normal cylinder. Up nice and
close!

And here is
one of the greatest prizes in all of the Cap Gun Hobby!!! The famous Kilgore
Fargo Express Cap Gun! Andrew even has all of the provenance to go with it. I
included the second photo because it is the right side of the gun. The left
side of this Cap Gun with the famous lettering on the grip is so famous that
you almost never see the right side of the gun! Can you beat these
grips?

Here is a special presentation photo that Andrew sent me
later.

This particular Long Tom is as good as it gets. Even though it is
part of a larger group of (basically) the same Cap Guns, these are such prize
collector's items, that you are virtually required to have them all in order to
be "doing it right." And Andrew is certainly on the right road to doing it
right. He's quickly gaining one of the best collections in Australia.

And here's
the "little gun" of the famous cast iron group from Kilgore. Folks, these are
really serious collector's items and only the most serious collectors covet
them so much that they are willing to forget about the expense and just "go for
it." This basic Kilgore group of cast iron guns are absolutely the best
examples of cast iron guns ever made. Now where's that Roy Rogers SIGNED Long
Tom?

This is a
wonderful Gold Hubley Cowboy that Andrew bought from Chuck Quinn. Simply
magnificent.
