Yup 05-06 winter working Cat-side sawing poles- guys on the crew loaded their elk with a Log max and I’d take a dump trailer full of DF/ L rounds home every weekend!

Would love to know the story of that…
No shit. They didn't make many Walker Colts, only 1100, 100 were issued to the Texas Rangers.
It’s not a walker. After looking closer the grip frame appears to be brass and the cylinder looks more like an 1860 Navy or copy of.
The story is probably a photographer stuck those things together and took a picture.
I worked in northeast Washington near the Canadian border for a few years. The area once had 26 sawmills and lumber camps to match, guys were in the woods from April until late-October every year for companies like Diamond match and Weyerhaeuser. They had two working hard rock mines and a cement factory. In the 1990's spotted owl hoaxes destroyed the timber industry and company buy-outs ended the cement processing. The area has lost 60% of the population and one day a massive wildfire will destroy the overgrown forests of the area. Dirty hippies ruined the place.
You can find some really neat old steam donkeys and abandoned logging equipment out in the absolute middle of nowhere.
Walker trigger gaurd and grip frames were brass. But I thought it looked too light for Walker.
IMO one of the best guitar solos ever (original played on an electric sitar) this guy ACES it.

Hard to tell with the rust, but it appears to have a latch at the front of the loading lever, which the Walker lacked.Walker trigger gaurd and grip frames were brass. But I thought it looked too light for Walker.
The one with the skeleton is a Colt Army model of 1860. Look at the 'smoothed' front area below the cylinder and the 'bullet shaped' loading area.
What's the story with that picture?
Sirhr

That is an 1860 Army revolver not the 1861 Navy. The big give-away is the rebated cylinder. The 1861 Navy was shorter and did not have a rebated cylinder because it was a .36 caliber versus the .44 caliber.

Have you noticed that there's always that one guy? You tell a good joke and he has that blank stare while everyone else laughs. Then two minutes later he finally figures it out and thinks he's the only one that got it so he needs to explain it to everyone else?
The crayons are there in case any Marines are staying the night.
Well, we have two of them.
The most successful Elk hunters had deep roots in the logging families. They "hunted" (no rifle) Elk year round from the seat of that logging equipment and the Elk got used to them being in the woods.
