I also have letters back and forth from Douglas Wesson and Ed about these guns. These letters were in the S&W Historical records.

Enjoy the story and the Guns.

Jim:

I just went back and re-read the correspondence between Ed and DBW. What a great read! It really makes the guns come alive and shares some insight into the lives, habits and relationships of those that used and made them. Thanks so much for researching, pulling this info together and sharing it with us.

Tons of fun,
