Lets talk GEC!

Count me in the group that would love a run of 66 jacks. A harness jack would be even better!
 
I think one of the 88's variant is the Bayou Gambler, with a 3 Ace card shield. And a Bayou Gambler etching 😂
Been racking my brain on and off about this. Thought, well if you take 52 cards and throw away 3 cards you get 49. Couldn’t be 49. They just made that.

Why would you throw away 3 aces? Then I thought “Trach Can”….. TC! But TC what? In blackjack Aces are valued at “1” or “11” well three 11’s is 33! Man I’d love another 33 run. That’s doubtful. And it doesn’t explain the trash can.

But what really doesn’t make sense is the fact the gator is way down the hall still. Yet we have “in production” phots of the 88. So either the gator isn’t the bayou trapper (highly unlikely). Or GEC is making another short run pattern before the 88. Or the trash can Aces and foot prints are simply hints to covers and shields. But what in the heck is on that picture on the wall? 🤪🤪🤪🤪

I think the things in the picture are indicating handle material or variation. I'm not sure those are footprints on the floor. The pic on the wall looks like it's just a bayou or a house on the swamp or canal. Trapper shack maybe. The aces could even be a play on words like My card A, as in micarta and the ace gives you the A. Probably far fetched, but remember- they had an elephant playing a harmonica, and the reason was even more far fetched.

The "footprints" on the floor look like silhouettes of hotdogs. So, hotdog shields on something?
 
Just arrived in the UK. The 36 in Northfield trim has surpassed expectatons 😍 The barlow aint too bad either.

This is my #66, a Calf Roper in Antique Autumn Jigged Bone (not unlike a Whisky Bone imo) from the 2017 release, with the pornographic shield.

I was lucky enough to find it at an AD in March 2020, having 'discovered' GEC only the previous summer.

A charming and capable compact Stockman which is a pleasure to carry, and beautifully executed too. Yes, I have GECs with snappier pulls, but there's nothing wrong with the easy but positive action on my example.
