I love the color of that stag. It looks like vintage Case 1960's stag coloring. A lot of makers can't seem to get that color on their stag anymore.

In keeping with my "One of everything" accumulation philosophy, this is my only Cripple Creek.

The pearl gunstock is a 1981 Cargill AECA knife. Great pearl, half stops, and solid knife all around. The copperhead is just a nice stag knife. I don't see a lot of cripple creek copperheads. Finally a nice strawberry bone banana trapper.
