sheep horn is cool- I have one from late 1880's Mont- Great great gramps. had it since I was 6.
Since you were 6?! I didn't know there were sheep then, just dinosaurs!
That maple is cool. But I love the ram horn!

Double header, and both are beyond amazing! How was the Bighorn to work with? Chuck

thanks guys!
Mike, that's really cool that you have your Great, great Grandfather's Ram!
Chuck, the Bighorn was really easy to work with. pretty much the same as Merino or some other kind of horn.

Yes, great great gramps came to Mt. In 1860 +-. He went to Ca. In 1850's. Had a ranch, hotel and ferry on missouri river. Canyon ferry dam flooded it. He packed up his wife in 1890's and went klondike. Had to be in 60's. Stayed for 2 yrs and went back to Mt. I keep telling Kathie we need to follow in their footsteps. I will be polite and not repeat what she says about the whole thing. She things camping is staying in a 3 star hotel......that was a big Ram Mike! bet it would make a nice set of grips!
Thanks Jim!
His brother was in Mt.. early also, he had worst luck with the natives than Cap did....
Little bighorn...
Great grips brother! I'd like to buy that Smith & Wesson if it ever goes up for sale!
