Everything said is true until we start talking about provenance going back to historical figures in American history. I'm remembering the double rifle of TR and the guns auctioned that were used at the Little BigHorn.I don't think there are any Caruso groupies left or Valentino ones either.Pop culture icons fade away after a couple of generations it seems. I do remember reading "Nash" at 12 or so and liked the stories then and still do.I'm not sure I liked them enough to want his gun even if I could have afforded it.I am glad someone did tho'.
