I think I could re-sell well. They have gone way high

The ones he tried on auction. I think he negotiated a buy for $600, no tax, cash and carry. I’ve never had one. Tried to buy one in college in the early 80’s. Guy wouldn’t get off $300, I could have bought a nice Security-six for that so I passed. My only interest was the story of Pondero Taylor carrying one while Elephant hunting. He dispatched a marauding lion with one! A ballsy trick, but it was thought big medicine back then.

My sincere thanks to Mr. Taffin for his excellent article on the .455 a while back! One of the few written works worthy of historical reference.

Couple cylinders full, some coon fingering, I’ll have my curiosity filled.
