But what if you did it now on a 100 year old gun, where the badge has been untouched for that long. Interesting idea. For me it would be no sweat if just engraved first letter of last name in same style "P". In my case it would be just a push, now if my man Mark slaps an R on there, well then maybe gun doubles in value, but only if he sells his Orvis snake boots with the gun.

That my friend is highly unlikely, as Robin, and my nephews know that those boots are to be on my gnarled ‘ol feet when the dirt hits the top of the pine box!!

As an aside, I was given a new pair of Chippawa light weight snake boots for Christmas this year....wore them on one hunt this year, and my pals looked at me like calves looking at a new gate when I showed up in them. Hate ‘em!

It is Prime Time rattler season here. This past Sunday, I pulled on the ‘ol gokeys to clean up a particularly “snakey” looking woodpile at the house. Afterwards, while enjoying a celebratory beverage, and tossing the ball for the boys, I thought of you Todd, so I took a snap of your “favorite” boots!! Enjoy!!

Love it. Though will have to say those dang boots look drier than my Grandaddy's scalp, and he has been dead and buried for close to 20 years. Man those are some tough boots. Maybe next year they will get good and broken in

Good stuff.
