Francis, the supplier in Front Royal was famous hunter and competition shooter Kenny Haig, and his company is/was Front Royal Supply. He was my Smith and Wesson, Remington wholesale outlet for many years. He was the PPG outlet for that part of the country, a real plum distributorship. When I was less than a pup, I bought my first S&W from him, a Highway Patrolman for $69.00 new. I remember him taking my money and asking me if I minded not getting a proper receipt. I was about sixteen years old but had known Ken for some time.
