Ace of Spades for the Outlaw Deck!

Using a "holdout pistol" design is an interesting choice - it was favored by ladies and gamblers looking for concealment, but they were notoriously inaccurate, used only as a last resort in a desperate situation.

Nice catch Don, Yes we thought it was something different and I do like to play poker so I thought it would be cool to incorporate in the spade.

King of Clubs - James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok of the Lawmen Deck of the Wild West Playing Card Project.

"Wild Bill of the American Old West is known for his skills as a scout, lawman, gunfighter and gambler. He was a professional gambler who was involved in several notable shootouts. In 1876, Hickok was shot from behind and killed while playing poker in a saloon. The poker hand he supposedly held at his death has become known as the dead man's hand. There are a few hands that were suspected of being the Dead Man's hand but the most widely accepted was black aces and black eights." per Wikipedia

LOVE everything about this deck. I haven't been able to afford decks in a while, but this deck will definitely be in my collection.

THAT ACE IS BREATHTAKING  ;D

Interestingly enough, as I re-examine the deck and the precise shape of the spade in the Ace of Spades, I noticed something interesting.  One could re-envision that spade as a woman's cleavage while wearing something like perhaps and open bolero jacket, with the handles of the derringers almost forming the cups of a bra or a bustier. Perhaps the Outlaws deck can have a Wild West showgirl in such a fashion for the AoS...  :))

Hey Everyone, I have been working on getting the project ready for Relaunch. I am going with United States Playing Card Company and I have changed the shape of the suits. Some of the feedback is people did not like the shape of the spades. We have changed the shape of the suits. Here is a preview. Thanks, Justin
