[P. J. Heck]

In rooting around through the milk house, I found a very battered Civil War short sword. The ones I saw in Gettysburg museum were marked Union and Confederate. I could not tell the difference in appearance. May have been some quality level difference that wasnt apparent. Who would know how to tell which side this one is from????? PS, just got a 1916 DWM in the mail, 2 match mags and holster that needs Jerry Burney. Gun is really nice but for a spider webby like place on the sideplate and the second match mag. is chipped on both sides. Will call on Hugh for that. May not keep it........Did I post pictures of the neat bipod 9mm sub gun I got recently???? We were playing with it again today, ran four drums through it. Really a slick fun gun. Had a dangerous hiccup on some old Egyptian 9mm ammo, suspect soft primers allowed a cartidge to discharge before fully chambered, leaving the bullet 4" into the bore, bolt cocked and ready to fire the next round. Shooter and I both noticed the problem and stopped the gun before that could happen. Any one else got any old Egyptian should be wary........
