Re: Flat Gate w/stags
Gary, yes I would like to see more picts too! I ended up with a set of Lawrence holsters, one for each barrel length, plus a first year full box of .44 Mag, 44 special and 44 Russian from Remington for my .44 Flat Top Rugers. Thanks for the photos Gary. Brass Frame/Lee

Lee I bought the same trio of ammo from Dale and man was it expensive....
Then the next morning while draining the first pot of coffee he says he remembered what he gave for them and handed me a $100 dollar bill back....
I was truly expecting a price increase NOT a discount....dealing with Dale was a true experience in the art of the deal.....

Re: Flat Gate w/stags
Notice my initials on the back of the stags? When I would visit I would go through and put my name or initials inside the boxes or on back of grips... I did end up with most of the items eventually. Good times, conversation, meals... The Dalbotten's were great hosts. I'll see if I can get some more pictures scanned.
One story I recall Dale and I were at the Twin Cities Show the week prior to Tulsa. Dale ran into an old time collector that he had not seen in a while. After a short visit at the show Dale told me we were going to stop by his place to look at some Rugers. The guy started bringing out some Mahogany case Supers. As we were opening them the guy was admiring them and telling about them. I asked if I could pick one up and you guessed it - freckling rust on the left side that layed in the box. The look on that guys face. Every one of them looked about the same. I felt bad for the guy. I did spend most of my Tulsa money at his house on some Flattops and couple LW's and I believe one or two boxed RSS4's. What a great time and memory. Wish I had taken some pictures. The guys pool table was covered with Rugers.

How about the rare BKH46 box. Only 2 known that I'm aware of. Some of Gwen's pottery. Dale collected Rugers and his wife Red Wing pottery.
