Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Very nice Vall. You sure have a great knowledge of Ballards and older rifles and can pick out those special order features that make them unique.
I think you need another display rack for the #1 models and it sure would be nice to see a #7 or 10 in there next year Wink

Thanks for the kind words Jon! I'm contemplating a way to add the #1 and #1 1/2 next year! Not sure I'll ever own a #7 or #10, but then I thought I'd never own an engraved Ballard either, so who knows? They're still on my bucket list!

Beautiful collection! I am a Stevens guy myself but I am really impressed. Wish I knew Stevens as well as you know Ballards. Still learning.

I had a very nice long chat with a Stevens collector from Canada while at the show's setup day. Was way more knowledgeable about Stevens than anyone I'd ever met, and knew things I didn't realize were known! He showed me pics of his Stevens collection, and he owned one of every deluxe or Schuetzen model made. Plus had every Stevens catalog made from the very earliest, up to around WWII! Mind blowing to see it all! And he collects other single shots too, so he had a gorgeous #7 Ballard he was heading home with, along with an equal Stevens #50 too! Said it took 18 months to get them OK'd to go home with!
