We had several in various gun magazines and several articles on them thru the years. We built 25 guns for Safari Club's 25th year anniversary and they had a speccial give away of serial number 1. I kept #2 and this is it. The frame was about 20 years old when I dug it out of the safe and took a picture of it.I had had it in Africa with me a time or two and it wasn't in the best of shapes by then.

In '78 and '79 we built some long range Contenders with longer than normal barrels.

We slab sided most of our TCs and engraved whatever the customer asked for on them.

We did special TC packages including several barrels and 2 frames. We did a nickel finish on them back then.
