HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUKE!
 
A very close friend of ours back in the day, was Sid Hackel. He was Capt of the Sheriff Reserves at the BC Range. His brother was the Duke's official photographer. Sid would go on the Wild Goose with Wayne fishing. They'd go hunting in Mexico. Sid smoked cigars and this is a picture of Wayne smoking one of Sid's cigars....

In the late afternoon Tim came over and helped me box up the gun forms and ship them off to Michigan to the American Holster Company. Yes! More stuff out of the barn!
Check Jay's holsters... he makes some beauties...
 
Enough for now. Ciao.
