Was the LCR plated in real 24ct gold?

All I can say is I wish I were the (former) owner of the LCR....

Well, you've certainly dangled a tantalizing worm....

OK, was going to string this along but I'll give it up. Oldest daughter got divorced and gave me the LCR her X had given her. She did not like or want it. Second daughter wanted a light off trail hiking gun so I gave her the LCR. This was last year. Now first daughter has a boyfriend and 2 days ago I find he has a Bug-A-Boo under his skin that 2nd daughter has the LCR. Now, have not posted this but my wife passed away 2 weeks ago. The Colt was her night stand gun. So I was going to offer to buy the LCR but instead offered it 1st daughter in exchange for the LCR. She said "deal" so fast it was funny. I
The Colt would need a home some day anyway. May as well pass it on now. All is good with everyone. More to add, going to take a breath.

Well, that was a totally unexpected roller coaster!!

Very sorry for your loss and glad that you are able to bring joy to your family

If everyone is happy, that counts for a lot.

Sorry to hear about your loss. My wife of 48+ years is gone this week. She is on a cruise with our eldest daughter. The loss of companionship for me is noticeable. Some people want their wife gone, not me. It reminds me of when I was single and wanted a wife. I admit that I was fortunate to get a good one the first time around.

Sorry for your loss, reread twice before I caught the details.

I'll make sure that 2nd daughter gets something better than a plastic handgun for this moment in life. I bought my wife a Henry 22lr. Silver Boy that she enjoyed..
I've a good idea where that needs to go.

Condolences on the passing of your wife, I can't even begin to imagine what that loss feels like. Prayers and blessings my friend.

I'm thinking the Henry should go straight up the backside (muzzle-end first) of the new boyfriend of daughter #1 who IMHO doesn't have the slightest scintilla of any right to have a "bug a boo" about ANYTHING over "who has what". The gall of some people!


BTW- Sorry for your loss!!
