While in school I was haunting Used Bookstores, on one of these Trips I ran across "Flashman" the 1st volume in the Flashman Papers [there are 13 in all Published so far] and I was immediately addicted to the detriment of all else when a new Volume was acquired. So when I found EoT-SASS back in "84"-"85" who else but Flash Harry Would be the perfect moniker for me.

My current guns & gear:

1863 #2 & 1875 #3 Remingtons,
2nd & 3rd Model Merwin Hulbert & Co Automatic Ejection Revolvers,
S&W Schofields,
R.I.C., #5 & Mk.1 Webleys,
2nd Model Le Mats

Other information I would like to share:

As most long time readers of cas-l are aware that Lady Flashman and I have a small Historical Collection of books on the Victorian/Edwardian Era's as well as the Firearms related ones and L.A's Central Library has always been a Big help. Then on Top of that my long lived Kin and their friends and having worked my Aunt and Uncle's small Horse Ranch as a Wrangler helped as well.
I was a History minor in college, and have had a long time love affair with the Old West, Military of & the Victorian/Edwardian Era's. So, other than the Flashman Papers I really didn't have do any extra Research dedicated to developing my alias.
