I remember that round too, and every now and then someone here will mention it. I think over the years the Herter organization had so ostracized themselves, to one degree or another, from the rest of the firearms industry that there was zero chance of that round ever appearing in a revolver made by a major manufacturer. If it had, Jacques never would have let us hear the end of it! Of course the catalog did make for entertaining reading.

I thought it amusing that the people I knew were about evenly divided. Half thought Herter an amusing loon, and the other half were great admirers! There was not a lot of in-between. I remember seeing one of the Herter revolvers and wondering how something appearing so ordinary could be the subject of such extraordinary claims!

Those were good days.
