My old Colt
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.
