Somebody or somebodies knew the exact story of this gun but sadly the exact story is most likely gone to the grave with those people and lost to history at this point. Every time the gun changes hands over the years the trail grows colder and colder. 1909 was 114 years ago and 1936 was 87 years ago. Who engraved and did the woodwork? It would be interesting to know but at the end of the day does it really matter now?
Now it just is what it is.
Beautiful....
