Mylhouse, I think George appreciated fine things and owned the best, therefore the choice of "girly Kimber"(Dogger's words, not mine). Besides, he thought of himself as neither a god nor king, but a man of the people. He put his pants(or pantaloons in his case) on one leg at a time just like you and I do(I hope!). You have to admit his handwriting looks alot like the Kimber on the slide. He certainly never put himself on a pedestal, and neither will I. A great man, yes, but still a man. If he were here now, he would be leading the next revolution. I think the founding fathers are looking down pretty disappointed in what has happened to their "grand experiment" today, given the royal edicts (executive orders) from HRM Slickmeister the Great.
