Salopian - Is your group THE famous Black Hand Gang profiled in the Double Gun Journal Autumn 2008 Volume 19 Issue 3?
If so, Give Mike Newland my regards and thanks. He inspired me to pick up a like-new pair of thick black leather trousers for a mere 20 bucks in a second-hand shop.
They're great if busting through brambles and such is the order of the day. Of course, my wife thought I was in a mid-life crisis, trying to be Jim Morrison or Iggy, so I showed her the picture of Mike strutting his Blackpowder Thang, grey beard and all!
