...I love guns that have a story to tell!

A beautiful old piece of history!

That is a fantastic handgun, and to own it is almost to wonderful to think about. You are one lucky guy. Enjoy having it and shoot it every once in a while.

You are very fortunate to possess such a piece

Good thing Bill Powell never got wind of that one, you would have had him howling outside your windows all night with the coyotes.:) He had so much McGivern stuff that I told him I expected him to show up any day with ol' Ed himself, well stuffed, and lashed to a two-wheeler. I don't ever remember seeing your particular Ed gun, so I think it's safe to say that it escaped Powell's radar. It's a beauty.

WOW!!!!! Great gun to own. I am glad to hear it is owned by someone who knows who Ed McGivern was and appreciates the significance of such an heirloom.

I was working in Boise one winter and one of the young co-workers on our crew was from Montana with the last name of McGivern. Upon being introduced to him I immediately ask if he was kin to the one and only Ed McGovern. He gave me a blank look and said he had never heard of Ed McGivern. I told him he might want to do some checking when he returned home because that was too much of a coincident to be from Montana and wear that name and not be kin. This kid was very personable and liked guns & hunting also.

Thanks for the sharing the gun and story with us.

Tell me, how does one keep those stags mounted?
