It was fun to find this stuff curled up at the bottom of the bag for Julie's dad's shotgun. The warranty card dates back to around 1970. It's fun to see the branding and stuff from back then, even the Shooting Sports Foundation which is still alive and strong. The round tag matches the bag that came with the gun, that red plaid pattern.
Even better, this was the first gun Julie ever shot. We'd been dating a few months and her dad and I took this gun down to her grandparents over thanksgiving. I loaded a shell, she shouldered it and pulled the trigger. After taking half a step back, she turned to me and said, "You got any more of those?!" 🤪 I knew she was the girl for me❣️
