I am not interested in sell them , but I do have a friend that has a pair of Ruger revolvers that he engraved. He might be interested in selling those.

I am Lester Smith's great niece Lynn Smith. My dad Harry Jr used to help Uncle Lester when he was young. Do you know of any way I could find anyone that would be willing to sell one of Uncle Lester's rifles or pistols? About 25 years ago, I had just missed a pearl handled pistol in Stone Mountain, Ga he had done beautiful engraving on. It was for his bride that stood him up. With all of Uncle Lester's financial problems and his unexpected passing of the Hong Kong flu, his family didn't get any of his guns as memorabilia, just photos. I would LOVE to have one to give my dad. Dad is 75.Poohbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926058458178850382noreply@blogger.com
