Shot Show high light

[Mr Wolverine]

The high light of the Shot Show for me was not even at the Shot Show. Yesterday, Friday, I took time off to go to the Las Vegas Antique Arms Gun Show, I was really tracking down information on Lancaster’s, I had forgotten that James D. Julia Auction House would have a display there. To my delight they had Jim Corbett’s double rifle there. I read his books many years ago but never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that one day I would hold his double rifle, I closest my eyes and wished that this old girl could talk to me, I think in a strange way she did, for I walked away with a great feeling in my heart.
