| I believe that Carl Hellstrom received the first one. elmer, I think, got the 3rd one. Charlie Askins recieved one the first ones also. Can't remember who the second one went to. Elmer did get the first 2 4" Model 57's. |

| Who would have ever considered that the guns of our contemoraries would go for so much/ But I'm glad that they are + that there remains an interest, helping the shooting sports survive.

| My memory may be faulty, but I seem to recall that General Hatcher got one of the very early S&W 44 mags. |
