Thanks Michael! I also have that picture saved. Whenever I get feel sorry for myself I just look at that photo.

I did forget to mention here that the heel & toe plates and the grip cap are hand made from horn. I didn't count the hours I have in them, it's just best not to know those things.

Hello Doug,

Beautiful and fitting homage. Thank you for sharing.

There are lots of us who miss Bill dearly even not having met him personally.

JC

I think I have copies of the emails that Owleye and I shared about the nearly insurmountable chore of bringing this gun, in parts, to our shores from far across the sea. Bill's quest for advice centered around "Is it worth it?" I'm glad he came to me with that question, and not someone with less of a soul. Good young Bill had a real Rolodex that he could call into play when the chips were down. Good luck, Doug. Bill Murphy
