Ron, unfortunately I don't have a Walker. I was just trying to make a point that there are some Colts that are REALLY desirable, and I was curious if Jerry would recoginize a Walker serial number. I can tell you that when I was much younger my father owned "B COMPANY No 188", a gun now owned, I understand, by an Alabama doctor. The way that gun got out of the family was, and is, a sad story.

It was interesting going to the gun show today over near Dulles Airport. What Jerry said seemed to be very true in that the folks that had lugers didn't have any percussion arms. This was very different from when I was young and the Tennessee Gun Collectors Association was a going concern ( my father was a charter member(14) along with Turner Kirkland(40), Hume Parks(1), etc.) where there were a lot of tables with a real mix of guns. I guess I am now behind the times.

Bob
