Prices started climbing as supply started drying up and word got out about the two heinous paying American dollars for guns. Rumor got to Skeeter there was a clean Colt Single Action Army still for sale, if he could just find who had it. Excited, Skeeter and his compadre tracked down and bought the Colt, one of the last in the area. It was in pristine condition with on exception. The owner had crudely scratched his name "Bustamonte" in the side of the frame with a nail.
DANG- hadnt thought of that story in decades...THANKS!
The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than the cowards they really are.
