Patton's 357.......
In the early seventies I had a friend with an FFL. He ordered me a turn in police gun that had been used by the Georgia State Police and had GSP stamped on the frame between the trigger and cylinder. I had a four inch 44 special built from it. When I showed it to another friend, he asked what the GSP stood for and I told him it was the gun Patton really carried when in combat. This guy fell for it, hook, line, and sinker. I had to explain to him that Patton carried a registered 357 magnum (pre-model 27) with ivory grips. It was a fun "pun" though.
