Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I just took a part and cleaned an old Marlin 39A 22 that my dad gave me when I was 10 years old. Serial number dates it to 1956, about nine years before I was born. It made for a special evening. Tomorrow I am heading back to the farm, and he and I will plink off the front porch at a clanger plate that he hung across the pasture. But tonight was a special time in itself. To admire the craftsmanship of the people who made this piece. To think about the hands that enjoyed it before it became mine. To treasure the memories of years past and look forward to tomorrow. Thank you for listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Before he passed my Dad let me clean and repair his Remington Speedmaster. He got it the year before I was born. It was a real pleasure getting it back into running shape for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
