The Sunday Picture Show (January 28, 2024)

Welcome I ironhorse1 . This is a fun & friendly forum so pull up a chair and hang out.
There is a "stickie" near the top of the first page about posting pictures. Some of the information is outdated so work your way thru it to see if any help is there. A Gold membership lets you upload directly from your computer which is what I use but that cost is not for everyone. I think others use a photo hosting site but I have no personal info to offer on that. There is a lot of Buck knife knowledge here so don't be shy if you have questions. /Roger

Recently picked up a Ruger Blackhawk as a companion to my Marlin 1894, both chambered in 41 REM MAG. Ruger is the Buck Knife of the firearm world in my opinion - rugged, reliable, reasonable cost and outstanding warranty service. OH

Major jealous factor going on. 41mag is my favorite revolver caliber. Wish I could find an 1894 to pair with my S&W 57.
Thanks for sharing

With the National Guard tracing its heritage to the the first muster in the Massachusetts Bay colony in 1636, it has always been considered the oldest US military service.

I'm only Google smart. Old Hunter rightly took exception to my statement that the Coast Guard was our oldest military organization. That statement was taken from an article I referenced on the Coast Guard. There seems to be inconsistency in military organization ages relating to how precursor organizations were credited. For example, the 1775 Continental Navy was disbanded after the war then the current Navy was established with the Navy Act of 1794. So, 1775 or 1794? If you Wiki US Military Organizations the National Guard is not listed but the Space Force is ???? Follows is a list supporting Old Hunter's position

Military Branch Birthdays
  • National Guard. December 13, 1636.
  • Army. June 14, 1775.
  • Navy. October 13, 1775.
  • Marine Corps. November 10, 1775.
  • Coast Guard. August 4, 1790.
  • Air Force. September 18, 1947.
  • Space Force. December 20, 2019

Thank You DeSotoSky/ Roger for the warm welcome. I have some old and new Bock Knives. I have quite a few old Buckmasters. Some of them grey color. I did purchase the book Buckmaster Knives The Authorized History of Models 184 &185. It has served it's purpose very well. It's author is Richard Neyman.
Thank You Again. This forum is exactly what I was looking for.

Here's an another site you might or maybe have found interesting...
 
I have checked https:/ survivalknife184.com/ I looked at 2 of my 184's found 1 was early and the other was early but newer both pristine. I have to save this site to check my others. They are in cases that are buried. Thank You, pjsjr for telling me about this site. It will become very handy. Wow I did it on my first try, showing a pic of one 184 Buckmaster. I counted I have 8, this is an early one. This picture is not the greatest I have to improve my photography. But I am happy I read and learned to post pictures.
