    Care to actually say anything about the COLT ? Serial number, where it was sold, what grade of engraving ? Was the engraving custom ?

      Yes, SHOW the gun not these guys. If I can't read the engraving on the gun- you need to get closer.
      Try watching forgotten weapons

      Most definitely, I'm disappointed. Much like the NRA itself...

      @@DenisMcInerny I wish I had some. All I really know is that they used to drink together in a bar in some different county where he I guess didn't have the authority to arrest him or he wasn't wanted there or something, but he ended up being one of the sherrifs that had him cornered in the cave trying to convince him to come out. Also my grandpa had the original picture of his hanging but his cousins husband ended up stealing it and probably selling it.

      Same here. If im not mistaken, he would be my grandmother's second cousin. One of his brothers I believe was her dad.

      I'm a relative as well! My Grandmas maiden name was Ketchum, and we heard stories of him growing up. His brother is my distant Grandfather I believe.

      Then i must be your relative. Unfortunately my last name was misspelled by my great grandfather in ww1 from Ketchum to Ketchem because my great grandpa didnt know how to spell. Tom would have been i believe my great great uncle. So relative what is your relation?
