Wayne, not only am I the current caretaker of my grandfatheres GH 20, he left a S&W .38 special M&P, pre model 10 I suspect, i've done very little research. Though not certain of his rank ot the time, he was a retired marine colonel who was stationed in Haiti in the late thirties. The story is that the 38 was taken off of a diciest haitian caco rebel. Knowing a bit of the history during the marine occupation, I hope this is an accurate account, considering the alternative.
The piece has been refinished by my father some time after pappy died. From what I remember of it, being a pitted pile of rust, it was needed.
Just thought you would like to hear a little history on this piece now knowing you have an interest in S&W.
Can you recommend a good Smith and Wesson forum, like this one?
