My father was a "sod-buster", plowing his farm out of the prairie in early 1900s. For many years all he had was some kind of a "38" my mother told me he carried when he sold cattle and had the proceeds in cash. Later He bought a Winchester Model 12 in 12 gauge that was his means of protecting his farm from all kids of vermin. I have had possession of it since 1967 and am now going to turn it over to my son so he can protect it until his son is old enough to be the keeper. I have had a v-rib installed and had it reblued and have made a new stock and forearm that is ready for checkering. I shot some trap with it and it became my "money gun." My son knows the guns history.
