Hammerdown: Good for you on the wonderful and thoughtful wife!
Enjoy that pistol as well as your wife.
I had a similar "incident" befall me last year.
My wifes life long friend was settling her Aunts estate and in it was an unfired N.I.B. Colt Peacemaker with both 22 LR and 22 Magnum cylinders as well as two sets of Colt grips!
My wifes friend sent several pictures of the pistol and the box contents that had been left over from when the Uncle passed on.
She wanted a "fair and quick sale" evaluation from me and I sent it to her via E-mail.
I happened to mention to my wife that I would love to have such a nice pistol but it was several hundred miles distant.
Some months later my wife returned home from visiting her friend and gifted me that beautiful mint little revolver - it is one of my prized possessions, mostly because of the thoughfulness and effort the VarmintWife went through to send payment for and then go fetch that pistol for me.
Good marriages are indeed an amazing blessing.
Hold into the wind
