Model 21, Badge of Honor

[Bill Murphy]

Kevin McCormack and I put on a "Model 21" display at the Baltimore Show some years back. We won an award for that display. The hit of the display was a Camalier and Buckley cased Model 21 cutaway, number 150, with a prototype snap on forend and earliest single trigger. Kevin restored and refitted the case, which is beautiful. Another hit was a dedicated Model 21 salesman's album with entries back to 1930 up to the 1960 introduction. I remember catering the liquor for Mrs. Camalier's daughter's wedding. They are a prominent Washington D.C. family and owners of a very upscale gift and leather emporium. The Camalier case is about the size of a computer case. I think Kevin may have pictures of the display.
