Gentlemen ,I am getting in on this a bit late as usual ,but here is one of Ottis's 410 BHE Upgrades ,purchased from Chuck a while back ! Since no one else has mentioned it ,I will Post a picture of the Stock Oval and Initials ,when I first purchased this gun ,Bill M. sent me an e- mail asking me to post a picture of the Oval and Initials , seems Ottis's Guns were inscribed as " WOO " ! As discussed before ,please overlook the Back Ground :rotf: Russ

I had a BH 28 that was one of Otis's guns but don't recall the initial plate being engraved with WOO. He had some very nice work done.

After seeing the flowered background, kinda makes me long for the "Golden Towel"

[QUOTE=Rich Anderson;97783]I had a BH 28 ...

I should have bought that gun Rich when we talked quite a while back ,it would have made a Great Set ! Just couldn't swing it at the time ! Russ

Be Careful John ,we all know where this can go !:rotf::rotf:

Russ I have come to learn that you just can't have them all:crying: Whenever I think I have enough something I just have to have comes up and sometimes it works out sometimes not. The fun is in the scheming on how to get it even if it doesn't work out. In fact I'm scheming now:eek:

Rich ,Why am I not surprised! :shock:

I'm just goal orientated I guess:rotf:

I enjoy telling stories about Ottis Odom as it brings back fond memories of a great and unique person, never meet anyone quite like him. If you never had a conversation with Ottis, you must know he could not make one sentence without using two or more curse words. Anyway, I visited Ottis many years ago with the intent of buying a VHE 410 that I had admired for sometime. When I finally got the nerve to ask the price, Ottis stated he would sell me the VHE for exactly what he had paid for it. Knowing Ottis, I questioned this to be true. He bowed up and immediately pulled out a ledger book that listed his guns by serial number, date of purchase and the price he paid for each gun. I asked Ottis who had entered this data and he stated he had. He then demanded if I questioned the accuracy of his entries in the journal. I had no choice but to say no. I then wrote him a check for his price for the 410. He was a true salesman and good at it. He was also a Great Individual.

Thanks everyone for the informaton...greatly appreciated...rich bozzano
