I ran into Phil at the gun show today and told him how much I enjoyed his talk. He related a few more stories which were just as interesting as the ones he told last night. That kind of wealth and gun collecting is something that us mortals just can't comprehend. I thought the most telling incident of the Peterson's wealth was the one where they had "misplaced" the 22lb. chunk of gold and his widows reaction to it being found.

Sounds like a great time I wish I could have been a participant. What gun won the people's choice? Pictures?

John Powers from Huston Texas took 1st place with a $200.00 10 gauge. It was one of three guns he displayed for our pleasure. I believe there were about 18 fine old Hammer Guns on display.

What Daryl said... a nice time was had and a great evening put on. I was happy to be able to see all those who attended and meet some new, to me, faces.

Here's John Powers' winning entry... extremely high-original condition $200 Grade Parker. The voting was on the guns' own merits but John's provenance and memorabilia of the 1876 Centennial Exhibition, for which this Parker was made, was extraordinary.

The guns were excellent. A real cross section of grades and gauges and stories. The speaker was excellent. The whole event was great
