There is an excellent article in the new DGJ Index and Reader about Nash and B0-Whoop. It also mentions his old Hammer gun that he used in his early years. His initials are scratched on the pistol grip. A Duck Hunting friend of mine bought am old Hammergun of the same brand a few years ago from a Negro man in Mississipi. While cleaning it he found the same type of scratched NB under the buttplate as in the DGJ reader. We feel confident that it was Nash's first gun.
