Grand Pa's pistol

We opened up discussion of the future of Grand Pa's pistol to our shooting buddies.  The vote was tied 2-2 and I decided to sell it.  As you know, someone in Salt Lake saw the ad and talked me out of it.  Anyway, the whole case is settled now as the pistol and Grand Pa's military record are sharing a shadow box on top of our computer desk.  One day soon, we will fill in the blank space with a small narrative explaining the whole thing.

It's been raining most of the day but the rainfall rate has picked up considerably in the last hour or so.  Wet and cold.

Cheers!  jp
