Just when "I" thought it couldn't get any BETTER... 2nd conf. button in 2 days

.... It did ;D ;D Alrite, I was on a cold streak out of this world for about a month and a half.. The last three hunts have been amazing and I'll never forget them.. HH Jeff

UPDATE.. the gun part I thought was a Derringer is actually a Belgian boot pistol.. and I'm holding it upside down :laughing7:

I went back to the same place I got the coppers and the confederate "I" button yesterday.. AND YES, I got another Lined "I" :hello2: :hello2:

Today's on the left

Then after about an hour or so, I pulled this up and had no clue it was a pistol for about 20 seconds.. I believe it's a Derringer maybe ???
