Piece of history
 
Now here is something that only comes by once in a lifetime.

The strange thing about this is that Franks brother Jesse would make some of his letters backwards too. I've seen photos of his initials carved into trees and chipped into rocks and some of the J's are backwards. These are not uncommon on the treasure hunters forums. Nearly all of them are back in the midwest area. If Jesse was dislexic, perhaps Frank was too.

Wasn't Mother James known for buying second hand guns and selling them to those who would come buy the farm house looking for a piece of James history....wait I got an old Iver Johnson in the safe....and yes it marked "Jesse James"....unless you would like it marked "Frank James" and the "S" will be just the way you want it :)
