Well, finally I have a few photos of one of the
finest collections that there is. Chuck Quinn's. Now so far, I only have some
photos of his office. And 1/10th of that "Office Collection" is more than I
ever hope to have during my lifetime. I could only hope to have a Nichols
Collection as fine as that. But fate decreed that I should fall out of the
stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down, since I didn't save Nichols
Cap Guns when I could get all I wanted for free. Few people would admit that
big a mistake, and I only mention it for those who, for some reason I can't
fathom, think I am an expert. I'm not. But Chuck is. And everybody says that
he's a doggone nice guy and helpful to everybody in the hobby.
If you want
your Cap Gun collection featured, then please send your photos to:

Here we begin over the door. We can thank Belinda Quan, one of
Chuck's good friends for the work involved in taking the photos and sending
them. Thanks Belinda. We hope we get to see some more of the
collection!!!

THESE FOR A LARGER PHOTO!
I'm sorry, but I don't
recognize this awesome set. I do recognize some Nichols bullets when I see
them, but some of the others are Mattel's.
Well, I have to admit
again that I don't recognize this set. Chuck has stuff nobody else still has.
And QUALITY!!! I'm currently trying to get him to adopt me as his only
heir.
Over the door to the
office we have some really nice sets. And they are pretty well crammed in next
to each other.
Farther
down the door we have some more stuff.
And father (again) past
the door, we have the rest of this particular wall of crammed-in high quality
stuff.
Finally something I can recognize. These look like Halco Marshal
Cap Guns. I hope they are, as I have shown my ignorance too many times
already.
And around the corner we
start another wall just packed with everything you can imagine. Look at that
swell Nichols Distributor's Display Board! I would trade one of my real guns
for that, but then it is worth more than any of my real guns.
And farther down the
bend we have a 2nd and 3rd Nichols Distributor's Display Board. You might think
it is the same big board, but notice that it is to the right of Augustus
McCrae's photo. (Or Robert Duvall for the rest of you who haven't seen
Lonesome Dove!) That display board that has 3 Stallions on it and is a
parallelogram is one that I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE—for sale or in a
collection. I didn't know that one existed. And look at that Model 94 Rifle
right close to it. There's so much high quality Nichols stuff here that I'm
about to short circuit the computer by drooling. Just look at that holster. And
that Model 61. Arrrrgggghh!!!
Here is a slightly different angle on the above photo with some
different light.
