The jeans were right over a pair of $1000 shoes and it just so happens that both the jeans and the shoes were exactly his size!

Why is that pistol called a nightstand gun?
In that time they made many small short barreled hand guns that would have worked better in that situ.

Beautiful but has it been refinished?

EDIT: Also the grips. They look like they've never been used.

Not much of a ring on the cylinder. I'm guessing hardly any rounds through it.

This is another gun from the same auction, and it's spectacular!

I always have a reaction when I see "Rock Island Auction" because there is a brand of firearms called Rock Island and they are in the lower 1/2 of the quality scale.
