You just made one of my points. Technically all the weapons you show'd are "old west" regardless of how new they are. Thanks! However, that watch you are wearing, not to mention the hat band and shades makes you part of the "new west" whether you like it or not!

I do Civil War myself, not Old West. Used to do Rev War. I'm a Confederate Artilleryman these days. I like to think of myself as a 19th century man stuck in a 20th century Baby Boomer world, trying to relate to the 21st century. I was wounded in 'Nam but lacked the "being hurt for the cause" part. Still, I wear my kepi to work while I drive my restored '65 Mustang. Guess I'm a throw back, just don't know whether it's to 1865 or 1965!
