Well, I know from Roy Jinks that this gun left the factory in August of 1939, but I really want to know more about where it went on its original journey.

So I fired off an authenticating letter request yesterday. I can hardly wait for it. In those days the gun could have gone directly to an individual, or more probably to a distributor - but who knows.

It would be a miracle, but I would be delighted to know if it was shipped to someone in Phoenix where I first saw one like it as a boy!

I was one of those kids that never looked at police in the eyes, just stared at & admired their guns! I even had to call police to report my vehicle had been broken into. I was staring at his Glock & at least 5 spare mags on his belt. I finally had to ask what caliber? He said 10 mm. There I was, 62 years old at the time, staring at a cop's gun. He was a pretty nice young guy; I just told him I like handguns & was glad I never keep any in the car without me. I just didn't want to creep him out!
That shiny gun up there sure is nice!

John,
Many have remarked that your gun looks new. I don't know if there is such a thing, but that stunner looks BETTER than new!! Maybe prettiest nickel and wood I have seen.
