Ok, one MORE thing to worry about in the second Pandemic year in a century: What will happen to my boxes after I am gone, and will someone attempt to reunite the mismatched ones with their orphaned revolvers, wherever they may be... sigh.
I admit I am reluctant to throw away something another person saved since 1955, even if it is a little distressed...
Another box in search of its revolver, this one thrown in by a dealer who no doubt wanted to do me a favor:
(I like boxes with labels that are stuck on right side up)
In this case, the revolver that came in the box left the factory a good decade later, and a Model 17.
