your grandma sounds like a real cool lady.

my grandma's sister ( my aunt Alice) was the same way. in '34 she was on duty as a nurse in Cook county general hospital when they brought Dillinger in on a platter.

then she moved to Alaska with her husband as he was doing some construction work during teh war and postwar in the aleutians. since she was a nurse, she was allowed to come along. she was often the only medical person for many miles. then in the 50s and 60s they hd a commerical fishing boat out of Juneau. she lived by herself on Douglas Island for about 30 years after her husband died.

your piece is a complete Franken-gun, almost worthelss to any collector.
if i was you, it would be priceless and should never leave the family. follow Lee's advice about documenting it with as much family info and photos of the gun in action as possible

cool grips. are they real stag ?
