I've got some Herter's reloading dies, and various other things, Father in law, when he was alive, had a .401 single action revolver he bought, but never bought ammo for it. By the time I came along, ammo was collectible. I don't believe he ever fired it, just kept it in the sock drawer. I suspect the idiot that shall remain my brother in law has taken possession of it now that my father in law has passed.
I've got a .357 derringer from Herter's that I picked up, as I recall, in a crap game or a poker game in my younger days. Not knowing some of the players, I didn't know if I felt better once I had possession of the thing or more worried that I may not be the only armed player.
I, too, remember the old catalog, and about wore the pages out turning them.
