Unfortunately, museums aren't always the best source for preservation information, you can find many horror stories on the net about neglected items in museum inventories that were ruined by decades of improper storage in basements and such.

Congratulations to both her and you, that's a great accomplishment. Especially considering she shoots from the wrong side ...

I have no idea how much experience or how skilled these folks were at the 8k level, but one of the main reasons why the death rate on Everest is so high are the guided climbs. The amount of support you get and the sheer number of people who successfully summit leads some to believe it's like taking a strenuous hike.

I find that if I walk fast when retrieving a beer from the fridge, it satisfies my need to think I'm exercising ...

Of course not. Tinfoil hats are highly effective, how else would we know who the crazies are ...

  I resemble that remark ...

I hate it.  I'll never come to this site again.  Why can't you people leave well enough alone?      On the other hand, by Saturday I won't remember what the old site looked like, never mind ... :x:

  And if you decide you enjoy the process, like a lot of other things it's going to cost a lot more.  Price some of the new Sata guns to see what I mean ...

  Eastwood (online) normally has a good selection of House of Kolor paints, my previous orders from them normally ship fairly quickly.

  My ex-BIL said the same thing about my Dad, now he wishes he had just taken the money ...

Nice pistol.  The only thing that would make it better if it were in 9mm ...

From the article: "A gun for civilians is a weapon for a revolution and not for ordinary use."  Seems like he does have some glimmer of understanding about the Second Amendment, albeit probably not in the context in which he intended ...
