M66-Back when trophies were steel and wood, not plastic…

[PatriotX]

Hi folks,

I recently came across this beautiful 66 no-dash, and was reminded of a time gone by.







It appears to have been engraved as a trophy for a shooting competition, sponsored by a BANK!

I believe the gentleman who won was an Indiana LEO, and he won at least two years in a row; I was not able to acquire the other gun.

Wood and steel is always better than plastic and chrome. I wish I had some trophies like this of my own!

Thanks for looking, all comments welcome.

If one isn't a part of Mr. Anderson's family, it would suck to have that much engraving, IMO.

I couldn't agree more! I can relate first hand to this statement. Back in the early 80's, when I was attending the basic training school for municipal police, I ended up winning the top gun award for my academy. Every year, the top gun was awarded a Smith & Wesson revolver. My year.....a plastic and chrome trophy. The following year they were back to awarding the revolver. How's that for luck?

Back when I was on a military shooting team I missed out on some trophy guns awarded by just one or two spots in a match. Never did get one. Definitely a unique subset of guns.
