Ken once had a profusely engraved and gold inlaid, (typical oak leaf pattern), Walther PPK, which someone had commissioned as a replica Nazi presentation piece and then never picked up. This was Sam's work and was exquisite, but the reproduction Nazi symbolism made the pistol a hard sell. It sat there in his front case for all the years I visited the shop.

Ken let me fire the first .44 magnum I ever shot. Right out the back door of his shop.
