Cal,

As another prewar Magnum collector and as one who appreciates the stories and working history of these guns almost as much as I appreciate the guns themselves, I have followed your thread with fascination. I can't recall any topic in the few years that I have been reading this Forum that has held my interest as much as yours has. Thank you for sharing all the information with us.

You have done a marvelous job of relating the history of Roettinger and his gun and I would encourage you to continue to record the information for posterity. At the very least, you should print out a copy of this thread but even better would be to record a computer disk and also make a hard copy that you could have notarized to keep with the revolver.

Congratulations on your gun and even more importantly, on befriending these two gentlemen and then reminding all of us of their contribution to the freedom that we celebrate on the Fourth of July.

Bob Bettis
