Someone stumbled across Tam’s blog by Googling the price of an old Remington rifle. Not just any old Remington, mind you, but a Remington built for the Vatican.
I always wonder how old firearms survived… between the scrap heap and the ravages of time, it is a wonder that any historic arms survive. However, the firearms have made it, and I only wish they could tell their stories. The closest a gun can come to telling its story is if some marking can lead you to the original owner… if they’re still alive. That’s one reason I want a K31 with a soldier’s card, so that I could have a chance to find out the history that the gun had.
