If Joe is going to always comment on my postings, hed better learn how to take it. If he was a Marine, Ill bet he was a cook.

It is Memorial Day for the cooks, too. I never met a Marine who badmouthed the cooks, either.
Best,

Back to Vols gun, My thinking is that whoever owned the Francotte name in the 50s and 60s decided to make a few bucks and had a bunch of guns made up by someone in the trade. I have one like his with less engraving and it has no relationship to the prewar guns sold by the company.
