While dad raised me with guns I have had the intrest since before I can remember. Then along come "Duke". Ura "Duke" Duvall was about as old as my dad. I rented him a room around 1970 as he worked where I did but that was about a 100 miles from his home. He would go home about every third weekend and work tons of OT as I did. Duke was a big time collector of everything but especialy smith and wessons. Everytime he went home he would return with a huge satual of more handguns! He educated me more than anyone else. This guy even had volcanics etc. Lots of old west guns. Dukes brother in law owned king gun works, so duke had a lot of "in`s" and knew many gun people, writers etc. He also had guns wrote up in some of the magazines. I have/had a few I got from duke. He got some from me too!
