Gary, what also hurt was shortly after I sold it, the new owner took it to the Texas gun show in Dallas and won a major display award with it. O, by the way, the gun also had the railroad express shipping over box addresses to the buyer in Idaho. With the gun never being used and made in 1941, I always thought the original owner must have been killed in the war effort--either military or civilian. Did you know that in the early days of the war, the US lost more men and women to industrial accidents than to fighting?
