I wonder if this one ever sold? As a related side note his #5 is back up for auction. Last time it sold for a little over $80K. I bet this time it goes much deeper.

I wonder what shape the 77 was. I’ve been looking around but haven’t found anything. Surely someone bought it.

No...if he was related, the #5 would live in Burleson! :lol:

Well, you could send that King to NC and you’d be that much closer to having #5. Lol. I’ve got a TLA Improved #5 so I promise to not bid against you.

I love the TLA guns! Or as Grover called them, "muh pistols"! lol

I'd sell that King, but I seriously doubt anyone would give me even what I bought it for! I probably I got rookiedoo'd but I had to have that King production! Every now and then I take it out and just look at that "Cock-Eyed" hammer! I love the "short action job" they did on it.

“TLA” is Texas Longhorn Arms, Bill Grover’s custom single actions. He thought Sam Colt must have been left handed since a right handed shooter has to switch hands to load and unload a normal Colt Single Action Army revolver so he built his “Improved” customs with the loading gate and ejector rod on the left side of the gun. He was a remarkable gunsmith but a poor business man.

This is my fancy .45 Colt. I also have a basic version in .44 Mag. They are both incredible.
