Help ID'ing and finding an old poster
« on: January 17, 2016, 04:19:30 PM »
About 15 or more years backs I found and bought a framed picture from a junk store.  The picture was a Texas rangers blue Colt SAA 38spec, his badge and watch also some 38cal bullets.  This is the best description I can give.  This picture hung on my basement wall until I started a remodeling job.  Then somehow the glass was broken and the poster picture cut.  I could not salvage it and throw it out.

I sure would like to identify the picture, if it rings a bell with someone or they happen to have a copy of it.  I sure would like to try and find another one if still available.

Thanks for any help.

Well ~100 people have looked at the posting and no-one has recognized the picture description.  So, it must have been a one-of-a-kind that was worth 'a lots' 'a lots' of money and I destroyed it.

Thanks for looking, all.

Good luck Black River Smith on finding your poster....

A poster I have looked for...for years. I had this in 1975 and let it deteriorate.  Three foot long by 2 feet tall. The Wild Bunch!!

John Bianchi has blue shirt with left hand gun holster.  I wish someone would reprint this picture. SCROLL DOWN....

I'vegot that poster, framed and hanging on my shop wall. It was the first of a series of 4 or 5 that he put out in the '70s.

John Smith,

Who is he in your posted response?  John Bianchi as 44centerfire stated?

If yes, then I can start doing searches around his name.

John Bianchi is 'the' John Bianchi of holster-making fame.

You can just go to his website and ask him, yourself.

Thanks

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear in my previous posts, "he" is indeed John Bianchi, here is a link that describes all 5 of his advertising posters.
