1970's catalog from Austin Behlert's "The Custom Gunshop"

WC145 · 04-04-2012, 10:13 AM

I got this catalog with the Behlert Bob-Cat 1911 I just purchased. It dates, I believe, to the late 70's, if anybody knows the exact year I'd love to know. My gun was built in '79 so I'm assuming the catalog is from around the same time.

I took pics of all the pages, they're not perfect but they're legible, especially if you zoom in a bit. The prices for the work they offered seem very inexpensive, certainly by todays standards but even for the late 70's. Of course, there's a lot from that time I don't remember well, so maybe that's just my perception.

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this!

Oh, man! That is stoopid kewl! I swear things like that may seem worthless to the masses, but I'd be tempted to frame it!LOL. Seriously, man. I haven't seen the gun, but this will be hard to top for kewl-factor. Hard to find, too. Now that it's come up, can we get some pics of said heater, please?
