Decided to Google James Jeffries. Plenty of great history on him. What's struck me was some of his fights went 20 rounds. This was in the day when they didn't have indoor airconditioned rings. Wonderful history. I hope he spent many years hunting with this gun. Any chance you have some family hunting pictures?

Twenty rounds indeed, I can't imagine the type of stamina needed for that. The fight where he lost his championship was scheduled for forty-five rounds ,but was stopped in the fifteenth.
As for family hunting pictures, I have seen some,but will have to do some digging. I will post some if I find some. Thanks for your input!
