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.

Bakelite is kinda like plastic…

S&W made lots of revolvers for Britain in both World Wars and the Model 10 in both 38-200 and .455 calibers

ReplyDeleteI’m not at home so can’t look in a book, but those appear to be British commercial proofs.
