I have an apology to make. TacFoley, on Gunboards.Com, pointed out I revise my story regarding how the pistol came into our family's possesion being that it had been through the Birmingham Proof House according to the markings. It was no intention of mine to mislead anyone as I can only quote what I was told.
One thing I can remeber about my grandfather is that he was a great leg puller and I can just imagine him having a quiet chuckle at spinning this yarn - something he took to the grave with him.
