Re: Cole Agee letter...
What a treasure. You guys have all the cool stuff!!!!
That John Amber Single Six was described to me as "it is what it is". I thought that it was beautiful when I was graciously allowed to handle it. I wished I had white gloves with me that day. It would probably be the last to leave his collection if I had to venture a guess. It's interesting to see the way that the grips on that gun have aged. On the 1954 8th Ed. Gun Digest they appear to be off-white. Today, they are a beautiful even shade of yellow.
