Not only possible, I checked the G&H website for him. If Horace Greelyu worked for AA, and you wanted to get to California, you would be happy with 'Go West, Young Man".

Are you refering to the one I 'straw' bought for you? I though that was some young socialite in NYC? you have so many, I can't keep them all straight. Does your GH letter say "E.F.........."?

Edgar as usual you are maddeningly correct. The Hutton gun is a VHE 12 not a 20. The VHE 20 is the 18 year old socialites gun.
