Dean-

I'll try the PM route tomorrow. Iowa farms in the 40's, 50's and into the early 60's were not the larger tracts they are today. LOTS of kids were raised on a 40 or an 80. A big farm was a 1/4 section. Cornfields were small and all had fence rows. These provided great cover. Cows and pigs were turned into the fields after the harvest to glean up the leftovers. There were actual houses w/ people living in them who invariably granted permission. Today, very few homesteads remain. You try to run the farmer or the owner down with a plat book. Good luck with that.

Kevin- I met you when I lived in Falls Church and was stationed at the Pentagon. I have an old Dickson oak and leather case you looked at. I joined the PGCA at a gun show over in Harrisonburg. I also have a LOM VL&A Chicago case. Unfortunately it is pretty well shot. It makes a nice display item.
