Default Double Gun Journal Article

Returned from a little vacation time to find that the summer issue had arrived. While perusing the articles index I immediately focused on the title of "The Unlocked Treasure of Parker Brothers A.W. du Bray" which was written by our own "Tool Man" AKA Steve Cambria. Subject matter in this case being du Bray and his favorite "Old Reliable", a quaint little Grade 7 (AA) hammer gun. Read it from start to finish last evening and enjoyed it immensely. Nice work as always Steve, can't wait for Part II to arrive.

I knew it was in the works, never imagined it would come together that fast.

That was a nicely written article. I enjoy Steve's style and approach. I was amazed at the many incidents du Bray was a part of, if only incidentally -- definitely the wrong place at the right time. Was the world really smaller then, or were the figures that much large than life?
