I must say this video was interesting but I got more joy watching Keith’s excitement handling these beautiful revolvers. I love seeing the passion he has for these historical firearms. It’s contagious. 👍👍👍
Getting choked up over the significance of a firearm can easily be done. I've bought my son firearms for graduations, or milestone birthdays. And when I seen him at the range qith those firearms, or hear how he will pass them on to his kids......well, the eyes get a tad misty. Awesome firearms, amazing back stories, and I'm sad I can't be in your shoes around all these amazing pieces of history.
That's priceless. Just being able to handle Theodore Roseville actual handguns is awesome. Here, I am am fantasizing about being able to own an original 1930s Gi issued 1911, haha. Living history, thinking about the stories involving those pistols. That's just amazing.
Ft. Lost in the Woods, in the state of Misery. Great place for camping. I suggest the Echo Co, 2nd Battalion, 3rd BT Brigade package. Comes complete with cattle car transport and continental breakfast. All while being serenaded by the Screaming Cadre singers.
Two very interesting weapons carried by historical figures. I would like to have one of the S&W Scholfields in 45 Colt built by Uberti. FYI Roosevelt never charged up San Juan Hill. He walked up Kettle Hill which was somewhat adjacent to San Juan. His Rough Riders (armed with Trapdoor Springfield 45-70's or their own weapons and a few Springfield 30-40 Krags because the army didn't have enough Krags to supply all the units) were taking heavy losses from Spanish troops armed with model 93 or 95 Mausers chambered in 7x57. While the often stated cause of the war, the sinking of the Maine and who done it is suspect, the losses sustained by Roosevelt's and other units clearly changed the direction of U.S. military weapons development.
Absolutely awesome. Not many people would turn down the opportunity to own them if they could. My only problem with guns like these is I would want to shoot them alot.
General woods' gun seems to be double action if I am seeing right vs Teddy's that is single action only. Were they different models? The 44 smith and wesson, or was it .44 russian seems a better choice than the anemic .38 long colt.
The reverence displayed here is remarkable gentlemen. What an honor
It's a thing only superior beings understand. Not women
@Wanda Fishlips you sound bitter. I hope you find peace in your life via therapy. Your negativity should be kept to yourself.
True
Wow, the gentleman getting choked up talking about Teddy Roosevelt was moving. It's nice to see folks with that much respect.
Always happy to share the good stuff with people who will appreciate it! Cheers gents!
Nice grips. The Gentleman on the right getting choked up - that's part of what this stuff is all about.
Theodore Roosevelt is my favorite president. Walked the walk and talked the talk and could back it up. One Hell of a man! Pro America all the way!!!
These legendary revolvers are beautiful and works of art

Wow, incredible to see those two together. Thanks for sharing their stories. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nothing better than beautiful revolvers with cool history, you guys are lucky to show them for sure, good stuff guys, this never gets old
Thank you for sharing with us a look at two pieces of remarkable history.

Thank you for bringing us this testament to the precision manufacturing of S&W from our nation's history.
Amazing special revolvers, thanks for sharing those. 👍👍
Two wonderful revolvers with historic origins. Amazing!

Those are some beautiful revolvers.
This.deserves more views. Thanks for making this available.
Wow, you'd think that would be in the Smithsonian or someplace. Very cool piece of history!
Very cool bit of history.
That is some amazing history, if those guns could talk.
Very cool pieces of living history.
I hope Steve and Keith do a follow-up video with the auction results on these two revolvers.
Very cool, the wheels were spinning… how can I afford this, the appreciation was clearly evident.
I too got to spend a warm summer at Ft Lost in the Woods though I was in 1983.

Some Awesome history, we should be able to still buy guns like that today. . order them straight to the house.
Incredible.
Beautiful Guns.
I served five years on board CVN-71 who is named after him and also called the "Big Stick" she is also the first of the Super Carries.
Very cool pieces of Americana
Wow, can't say anything more than that. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I LOVED my visit to the Rock Island Armory Museum.
AWESOME history told by the guns that made it.
I HOPE those aren't being AUCTIONED?
That's back when they knew how to make guns real pieces of history, from two of the greatest men in recent history.
Very interesting
You should sell vault tours, or make a museum.
@3:25 it's funny to see Keith almost forget he's still on camera as he starts getting deep in thought while handling Roosevelt's revolver.

Engravings offer no tactical advantage, but you won't need that since Teddy Roosevelt was a *strategic* advantage on legs.
Just a stab at a dollar amount???? I'm not interested in buying,,. Love your show brother! Thank You
I wish we could bring personal weapons to combat.
Cool!
Very interesting, I thought only Colt and Ruger made square back trigger guards. Wonder if that was a special order?
Rough Riders C081!
I have a #2 and a #3 S&W, the #2 is in .32 pin fire.
NO SHORTS ! NO SHORTS ! NO SHORTS !
I alway pronounced it "Ft Lost in the Woods"... :)
Is it just me or does that look like Caleb has aged, and is now working at rock island.
I clicked thinking okay now what is it reallllly
Uh how's Teddy going to fix it when the bolt doesn't go into battery?

Back when men were men, women were women and the 2nd Amendment was respected and understood.

Amen brother!
