So far, the only one that's been in the woods with me is the .45 West Texas Flattop Target (the bottom one). So far.

What are they?  From bottom to top, please.
You can't just show us four really good looking SAA's and not tell.
The top one I am guessing is a Ruger convertable.

Nope, they are all TLAs. From bottom to top:
West Texas Flattop Target .45 Colt (the last TLA out of the factory).
West Texas Flattop Target .41 Magnum (the only one made).
Number Five .44 Magnum, nickel plated grip frame & loading gate (previous owner thought plum was a BAD thing).
Number Five .45 Colt / .45 ACP convertible (the only one made).

The Lord has been VERY good to me!

How did you end up with so many uniuque guns and the Last gun made?

Like I said, the Lord has been very good to me!

Cubrock is right, too, I do know some people. In particular, the Last gun made (the .45 West Texas Flattop Target) I got from knowing Jim Taylor, who is a charter member and president of the Shootists and was a close friend of Bill Grover. Grover gave Jim the last gun out of the factory, and Jim sold it to me CHEAP because he is a close friend of mine as well, knew how much I wanted a Grover sixgun, and needed to raise money for a Mission trip to Africa.

The .44 Magnum Number Five I got from knowing Jeff Quinn, who negotiated with a guy for a month to get his little brother his first Number Five.

The .41 Magnum West Texas Flattop Target I got from a member of this Board who contacted me looking to sell.

And the .45 Number Five convertible I got from being faster than Cubrock!
