Ed McGivern's 357 gift to Walter Groff
For Christmas in 1936, Ed McGivern gave his dear friend Walter Groff a very special present.... A 357, RM#1704, SR #497XX. S&W charged McGivern $39.00 - no charge for the engraving....
He later gave Walter another special gift. A custom leather case made for specially for McGivern and presented to him by "Tio" Sam Myres. Ed McGivern "re-gifted" this box at some point later to Walter. This special .357 now had a fitting case to preserve it.
Peggy Groff passed it on to my father in 1979 - for Christmas....
Hope you enjoy the photos,
Jim
