Ok this may get me in trouble later but for now he has no idea. K and a few of us went to the indoor range to shoot this morning and a man has this up there wanting to get it appraised. The man behind the counter told him the guy who does their appraisals was out of town for the weekend but he could drop back by on Monday and the man could help him. I was standing there and after the range worker walked away I ask what he was wanting for it. He priced it and Both K and I thought it was a good deal so I ask if we could step outside so we could talk. At first he was kind of standoffish but I understand. Anyway we went out and talked about I wanted the buy it if he would give me time to run to the bank for the cash. He agreed to give me 20 minutes which is what I said it would take to go and return. I left the others there to shoot and went to a bank branch close by.
Anyway its a Ruger New Model Blackhawk in 41 Remington mag. 4 1/2 inch barrel with pachmyer(?) grip and a cloth holster which dad will hate but it came with the gun. Not saying how much until dad sees it and decides he really needs it HaHa!! the thing that caught me is he has I think one in every caliber they made with this one. I know he has 357, 44 mag and 44 special and of course the 45 colt (do not call it a long colt near him - just a warning) All of those have the same barrel as this one. He also has the 44 mag and 45 colt in the really long barrels. I am going to hide this in his desk and have him find it looking for a sales book we keep in his desk. They are due up in a few minutes for their lunch so there is not enough time for the secret to be told before he finds it. He has several receipts he needs to enter for checks picked up from mail drop.
He needs a smile today, the week has not been good to him.
Oh almost forgot the picture, sorry for the crappy picture but it was taken in a rush.
