is named after a ponderosa pine flagpole made by a scouting party from Boston on July 4, 1876 in order to celebrate the United States Centennial. At least that is the story some tell.

Had a nice visit with a pleasant young Asian man who runs a gun shop. The old guy who was there also seems to think it is his, but you could tell who really knew what was going on.

I am looking forward to a nice visit tomorrow also. In the meantime we will take in the sights, visit the party spots ... or I may take a nap.

and his daughter in law were in the shop visiting but I guess he already spoiled my surprise. Still, it was good to see Jim again. Been too long.

on Saturday. I went back the next day and it was off the table. The owner came to his senses that evening and decided to keep it for himself.

are old too. All 3 are the adjustable sight model from about '75 thru '81 or so and were all made within the same 2 or 3 year period. No new fangled plastic guns for us.
