At what point does scarcity override condition ?

Maybe it shipped to West Virginia

You guys laugh, but my GF's Dentist is named Hatfield, and he is "Devil Anse"'s great grandson. He has all of the family history in the waiting room. He also has Devil Anse's 44-40 Model 92 lever action rifle and some other family guns.

He has a sign in his office window, prominently displayed, saying: "Firearms Welcome Here"!!

Really a nice guy.

Best Regards, Les

After all the striking targets that have shown up in the last couple of days, I'm almost embarrassed to show the additional photos of my little target. But I have it in hand and I love it.

Nothing to be ashamed of there. That little revolver reminds me of the saying, "good girls go to heaven, bad girls go anywhere." I like that homely little "been around".

I shoot with the North-South Skirmish Association and my unit has several members named Hatfield that live in the Grundy, Virginia area. Yes, they are kin to "Devil Anse" and all are great guys. And extremely good shots as well.

My simple formula:

Mint, Rare and Cheap. Pick two.

Well, I scoffed at the idea of it belonging to one of the infamous Hatfield clan. Roy tells me that previous research shows that it did indeed go to a member of that clan. Someone on the other side was kind enough to post an obit for an Elias M. Hatfield, son of Devil Anse who fits the time frame. He was killed in 1911 in a feud over bootlegging territory.
