Typical British drivel...
Patton was attributed have have said something to the effect that, "Only a New Orleans pimp would carry a pearl handled gun." However, gun historians have claimed that, indeed Patton did own at least one pearl stocked gun...but it was not one of those he was photographed carrying in WWII.What was it Patton said about 'Pearl Handled Revolvers'? That's what I think of this one.

I am sorry but I have a hard time comparing a slave owner to Goring. And its your opinion that its nonsense. I feel its nonsense to make a big deal about the gun he once owned no matter how beautiful.Let's stop that kind of nonsense
