Not a bad effort at movie making
The weapons that we collect have seen some of the darkest moments in human history, I have said that if history had actual weight these rifles would crash through the table and probably the floor under it by the sheer weight of that history. The weapons in my collection can take me many places, With the Palls Battalions at the Somme in 1916, A death camp in Germany 1945, a jungle in Cambodia , a desperate fight for some nameless piece of ground during the Indian Wars, The muse Argonne 1918, The snow of Finland, the 'canal in 1942, the San Juan Heights July 1898. The places are endless, and for most of what we collect we will never know exactly what they have seen, only that they were there, the relics of history.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
Theodore Roosevelt
