this pic. I was searching old e-mail for details of an order. Saw these scans. Hey - I'm wearing the same shirt today. The collar is nearly sawed off by razor stubble ... but these Bean cords really last. haha.
This was my first professional airgun. 45 caliber Girandoni type breech.
Just posted ... for the heck of it.
Don't forget ... just one more shopping day before my birthday!

That's quite a step from copper tube blowguns to 45 cal museum piece! 
Beautiful !
I doubt Lewis and Clark had such a fancy Girandoni, and I'm sure yours would out shoot on accuracy and power by many fold.
Thanks for sharing,
Kent

Because I PAID him Tom! hahah.
I used to shoot on the farm of a friend named Tom. He always gave me that Kenny Rodgers crap - and introduced me that way. haha
Kenny is on the poor side of the family. We barely speak.

Hello Neil,
Yes - today is my birthday. I'm older than dirt. And this really cold windy Sunday is extremely achy, I've noticed!
You only have a few more days, before it's all over for you too ... ya old coot.
Kelly is taking me out to lunch. Yummm.

Sorry to be so late to the party..but happy belated birthday! If I remember right, it was a picture of this very gun which first got me interested in big bore airguns. I can't recall where I saw it though
