Bob's Gun Shop, Richmond, VA

I was in Richmond this past weekend for my oldest grandson's wedding. I had some free time while the ladies got their nails done on Friday, so I drove to the above named shop on Hull Street.
They had a highly polished Commercial...(I think I saw a commercial proof). Nice blue job, but polished so thoroughly, there were no #s left.
.30 Cal. shooter for $699. Way overpriced, but someone in the area might be desperate.

What a trip. A couple of hours on the road, my wife clipped another car and wiped the grin from our 6k 2012 Cadillac. Luckily it was still roadable. Friday, in checking my e-mail, our local on line newpaper
reported that my town had golf ball sized hail. Called my son-in-law and found we lost several windows and had holes in the siding in many places, plus tree limbs down.
And finally at the wedding my Grandson and his bride took off on their honeymoon. A half an hour later she shows up at the church again and happened to meet my wife. "Where's my mom, we've had a wreck." Totaled the Honda, but they were OK. We made it home this evening at 5 PM safely.

He will give His angels charge over thee!

Good grief! That sounds like the plot of a Chevy Chase movie. Congratulations on the wedding just glad to hear no one got hurt.

You talk about "breaking bad" Glad there were no injuries, and good luck to all from now on.

They lowered the price to $599 and threw in some extra goodies.

It's a 1920 DWM "M" police, matching serial numbers, VERY hard to read the marks from the finishing as you say.
