[Austin W Hogan]

I visited Babe and Lawrence and they loaned me several pictures of the Invincibles as they passed through the Del grego shop over the years. These are in the Parker Pages article. The most interesting of these show a single digit aged Lawrence, and 30 ish Babe holding two Invincibles, and then the two of them holding the guns 30 plus years later. 200000 wore a Mershon pad and a BIG btfe at that time, but I think the splinter was replaced for the photo.
Babe told me that Runge made the replacement stock for the last 231000 Invincible, and that he did so with the other Invincibles on the bench. When it came time to fit the unusual initial shield, they flipped a coin. The other two Invincibles had them facing in opposite directions.

Best, Austin
