Patton developed the Calvary model saber, which the Army adopted in 1913-still used today I believe- I read that Patton's sword is in the 3rd. Armored Div. museum at Fort Knox- of interest re: his Parkers- the DHE 20 ga. with the JSP Jr. 1916-I read that his wife Beatrice gave him that fine shotgun when Pershing promoted him to Captain (after the raids in Mexico against the bandit Pancho Villa) and then the two later (1941) encribed CHE small bore skeet models- wonder what other fine shotguns were in the Patton family??
