If you would like to view this firearm, kindly contact me. I am asking $5500. Feel free to make an offer. (Cash only. No shipping). NOTE: I do not specifically know the complete provenance of this firearm. It is a fine example of the art of the Texas Ranger's BBQ pistols. I do NOT know if it was actually carried/used by a Ranger. Although I suspect a Ranger woulod be happy to own this one.
