you guys are all great! My sentiments exactly. Fastbolt- I do have a nickel Hawes 'SAA' revolver, so I know how that finish can wear & flake, got a photo of that WW2 .45? I have half a box of 'John Wayne' .45LC. even says 'Duke' on the base of each round, I only have half a box cuz I shot the other half already
