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

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.
