As I've indicated before - opinions vary - ain't it great, eh.
: I would value guns owned by Elmer much more highly than I would anything that TR owned or any other president or prime minister for that matter. While TR was a sportsman, he wasn't Elmer Keith. His phone conversation with me was instrumental in my buying my first S&W M29 to replace my issue M10. I dearly loved the man and most of his most colourful writing. I grieved almost as for a family member when he died. I do treasure all of our correspondence as I treasure that from P.O. Ackley as well.
