Cool old paperwork from 1969

[1KPerDay]

Found this stuff in a box in my garage. Paperwork and receipt from my mom buying an 1849 pocket and 1851 navy for my dad in 1969 and 1970. Including a letter from the dealer and a .31 ball mold.

$135 in 1969 is about $1250 today. That’s a lot of money for a housewife with 6 kids. A kingly gift.

That IS cool! Do you still have the gun?

Neat! I don't have anything that nice. I did buy a second hand book once and found an autographed sheet of paper. It wasn't the author but by the individual whom the book was about.

Yes, along with several other original and replica colts she gave him over the years (or he bought; not sure).

I just fell in love with your mom.
