Helena Oakley

She said she told someone about her black dress and they wanted a picture of her in it. But if she is going to wear the dress she just has to wear her Tony Lama boots. And with the boots could she pretty please borrow my hat? {bat eyelashes} "It would really look cool if I were holding the carbine." {/bat eyelashes}

How could I turn her down?

For the record, that is a Browning 1892, made in Japan about the late '70's, IIRC. It holds 12 rounds of .44 magnum. It has only been fired a dozen times or so. It is too pretty to alter, and that steel buttplate plus light weight makes the recoil a bit uncomfortable.

She said she'll be putting up the full size picture on her website, nookiecookies.com
