Gun writers are such whores. I'll bet that Curtis never paid a dime for that gun and sold it for whatever it would bring. British Army? That's a new one on me, but I'm not really a student of Curtis. He was a friend of Nash Buckingham, but Nash was a bit of a scavenger himself.
Two of my three all-time gunning heroes- Why would a Harvard grad and distinguished Southern Gentleman like the late Theopolis Nash Buckingham have to "scavenge" when his father was a wealthy Memphis banker and his wife, Irma Witt Jones, came from old line Southern aristocracy and brought a nice dowry to their marriage? I am sure Nash was gicen guns- like the 12 gauge M21's and Model 50 Winchesters, due to his friendship with the late John Olin- and I respect and Southern gentleman who care enough for the well-being of their Ladies, in his situation with Irma in her later years. You, Oh Murph Da Surf, dis-honor Nash's name and reputation as the most Shootin'ist Gent'man ever--scavenge- my ass!!
