Once upon a time...1972...I was working as asummer itern with US Customs in Houston. At lunch time when all the "girls" were out to lunch I answered the phone and a voice on the other end asked for one of the agents in the office so I transferred the call. A little while later the agent came into my office and asked if I knew who the caller was..I had no idea. Knowing that I was a "shooter" the agent said that was Skeeter Skelton who he had been partners with down on the border several years before and proceeded to tell me an hours worth of Me and Skeeter tails from the border.

Because he was also one of the three scribes who pushed for the .41 Magnum I had his name engraved along with Bill Jordan and Elmer Keith on the cylinder of a stainless custom Reeder .41 Magnum...



I have read most of what Skeeter wrote but to be honest I have no recall of that 25-2....but it is a beautiful one of kind gun and thanks for sharing...

Bob
