Farrokh of Florida sent me an email in an attempt to update the number of #1s that M.V. Highsmith built. Farrokh has one in 500-2 1/4" or 50 Alaskan. High took a Browning 50 MG (.512") tube and turned down to a diameter he fancied. Ed Mason executed the tap, tap, tap adornment on the gun metal. And there was at least one more in 30-06 or something similar.
Farrokh & I have had the pleasure of sharing some of Mrs. Highsmith's fine fare at least once together. My favourite is her Persian duck.
While it is on my mind and I need to post it on the gun cleaner thread, but my father-in-law gave me a bottle of Gun Cleaner from High and it is supposed to be used over and over according to the directions. The name on the label is:
Willie L. Kaiser
