I've followed this thread and at times been in awe of some of the guns that our colleagues have acquired this past year. I don't think any of them seems any more "valuable" than what you added to your collection today. It's too bad that as Time has eroded the general public's respect for guns, hunting and the coming of age traditions associated with this way of life, there are so many who would not understand what you shared with us about yourself and your relationship with your grandson. Thanks for sharing your gift with the rest of us.
