And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

These are worth a fortune, if you can find one.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness, in 1911, they produced the M-1911, a far superior sidearm.
ReplyDeleteSaw one of these at a gun show...mid-90's...$5,000 then.
ReplyDeleteThe Savage M1907 was built for several countries and used in WWI as military sidearms
ReplyDeleteThey didn't make that many of these...and most left the country. They are now essentially unobtainium.
