I posted this in another forum...
I'm 36 years old. My father died when I was 10. I have some memories of my dad. My mom learned that I began target shooting. She tells me she has something for me.
AND
Growing up, my mom never mentioned that my dad and her once enjoyed shooting at the range. Before the demands of a family took priority (a.k.a. the day I was born), they used to practice often. She began to tell me stories.
The Woodsman was my father's favorite, because he preferred semi-autos. The Single Six was my mom's preferred firearm because she liked single-action, cowboy style revolvers. They purchased these firearms in 1970 - 1971. The old receipt in the box was for ammo.
Growing up, she never mentioned firearms. We were always told that they were dangerous. I guess she didn't know how to introduce her boys to firearms because it was supposed to be my dad's job.
Words can not express how grateful I am. I never thought that I would ever have a firearm passed down to me that once belonged to my dad.
I also received a box full of my father's old cleaning supplies. I was going through it and the price tag on a gun cloth caught my eye:
Marshall Field's used to sell firearms supplies at their Chicago State St. store.
