And for Dave Fuller, where he met the world and first learned to wave the wheat and the Rock Chalk Jayhawk chant at 2 hours old.

A very special A1S! Looks to have been shot a bit judging by the forend "scar" on the bottom of the barrels but very well cared for none the less. A beautiful gun.

I spent a month and a half in the Lawrence General Hospital following my car crash in February of '79. The memories evoked by that picture are not so fond but what the heck - it's old history now. Bruce, of what significance is that picture of the Lawrence Memorial Hospital?

[Rod N. Gunn]

Its where I took my first breath Dean! Mr Day was nice enough to include it for my benefit. It looked a hell of a lot different 50 years ago.

[Dean Romig]

Well that was nice of Bruce to post that picture. I'll bet it was different fifty years ago.

I'll go you one better though... At my summer place in Maine we still use the bedframe, headboard and footboard of the bed I was conceived in... How's that? The mattress and springframe had seen better days quite some time ago and have since been replaced.

There was a question on the forum a few weeks ago about Whitworth barrel serials. The five digit numbers on the flats are the Whitworth serials.

Best, Austin

Although this one has the numbered barrels and the rib is engraved "Whitworth" , it does not have the Whitworth trademark stamp. There are some folks who say that Whitworth barrels all have the trademark stamp, but not so.
There is another thread about the Larry Baer books. This gun is shown in that book.
