Default LETTER ARRIVED. The “McGivern” Model Outdoorsman arrived.

As promised, here are some more pics. The letter request has been sent.

I’m posting this using cell phone pics. So, if anyone has any insight as to how to edit them for orientation, I’d appreciate it!!

Howdy!

I don't shoot photos with my phone (I haven't taught it how to do that) so I can't offer much as regards orientation. Perhaps shoot horizontal (as opposed to vertical)??!!??

Here are your images after I fiddled with them in my computer's photo software (probably a Microsoft program).

Awesome old revolver. I feel like a kid at Xmas when the S&W letters come in the mail and open them with the same anxious hands.
