Those things were a handful. I knew a guy into that era of stuff, and he had allegedly legit ones in his safe alongside LeMats and whatnot. But if you have big hands, they were just about right sized. Great piece. I learned a lot.

I somehow acquired one of the Italian replicas that I think came out in the early 1960s.

Sweet! I knew a few people who shot them in SASS, (the replicas, of course. The originals probably live in vaults and only get handled once a year with white gloves.)

I actually did have a replica Walker, but never managed to scratch the Dragoons off my list.

I have yet to fire mine, its one of those projects I keep meaning to get to. But frankly at 4 lbs I could probably throw it and cause some serious damage to an assailant.

Another interesting post. By the way I think you meant Charley Darkey Parkhurst (born Charlotte Darkey Parkhurst; January 17, 1812 – December 28, 1879) not Parker.
