Ditto on the Altamont grips. My Vaqueros wear the White Pearl grips.

Interesting story. So tell me... whatever did you learn from the gent regarding the Model 12 Winchester?

Hey Doc, I think the name of the railroad your great grandfather worked on was in Sanpete county, located in central Utah. It was variously spelled San Pete and San Pitch, after a local Indian. The San Pitch river runs north through the area. My ancestors from Denmark settled there in 1860. My dad lived across the street from that raliroad line in a little town named Moroni, where he grew up and met my mother. By the way, this is my first post on the forum. I'm glad to be here. Regards.
