The first friend I lost to combat was in Feb. 1968. There were more but he was the first. They say time heals all wounds... I guess it's not been enough time. And we were just kids. This woman lost the Father of her child. How much time does that take ?Indeed.

Every day is Memorial Day. Every day is day is Veteran's Day. Everyday, it was just yesterday...Forever plus one.
There is no doubt that a lot of work went into producing this kit and I'm not demeaning the craftsmanship. But it is not vintage. The steels used to produce the damascus are modern tool steels. I'm sure they were hammer forged. As for attaching the blade to the action, it appears to be bolted through the barrel band and is probably keyed into the action. The scrollwork and that damascus lever are what impress me the most. Although I have to ask, why put a lever on a black powder pistol?This thread has a lot of posts... for someone who does some rough carpentry, I need to slow down and look at these pictures.
How many hours went into just joining the blade to the firearm?
The thought of the samurai making Damascus blades by hand
From mining ore by hand
Refining steel the best they could
Heating and hammering the blade out, only to reheat, fold and repeat the process 50 times.... and then polishing everything when they could not source things from the inter web.
The detail is impressive.
The new konegsigg (sp) car has over 1,000 hours of polishing on the parts done by people with tools.... I can’t imagine how long it would take without electric and air tools....
It’s the same reason why the Python is a life’s of history... a production gun with 30+ hours of polishing.... unless we can end ITAR and ship parts to places with $1/hour wages.... we just won’t see that in any production gun

the op must have made it private...Not motivational!!! It makes me sad!
I prefer 45's but what the hell, I'll use those.
No person is worth killing yourself over.It's funny you bring that up now. My daughter's boyfriend had a coworker/ friend blow his brains out over the weekend. This guy had everything, then his wife left him and within 2 days, he's dead. He was just looking for an end, not a solution.
No person is worth killing yourself over.
It's also a selfish act.
The person committing suicide doesn't have any concern for the feelings of the people that love him and how they will be hurt.
It could help if it only comes overI need one of those at work. Productivity would drop but I really wouldn't care.
Does it make me a bad person that I am tempted to do this ?
