A fine gun indeed. Fast backwards to 1955 and that was my Christmas present. Gun still looks almost new, even after all the cleaning and rubdowns it received over the years. For the last 8 years it now belongs to my grandson and he cherishes it like it was a Purdy.

That was my first SxS Jerry configured exactly like yours. I still have it and shoot it once a year for old times sake. Nice memories- thanks. BTW, where on US 40 were you?

Doesn't ring a bell. My family was mostly in Indiana. In fact, my uncle was buried yesterday in the family cemetery. He was 95..and was on USS Honolulu at Pearl Harbor. We still have the family farm in Clay City, Indiana..
