I got the letter today. Thank you so much for the attention to detail and the Christmas dedication along with the copy of the original receipt. This will mean a lot to my grandfather-in-law. He was a police officer in the late 50's through the 80's. The gun was passed down to him by his father who was also a police officer. Story goes that they were not issued firearms, so when he became an officer the police chief opened a drawer in his desk and said "here, you can have this" so he could have a firearm. The gun has only moved 50 miles from the store it was originally shipped to in 1927. Thanks again for the research, and have a Merry Christmas.
