A couple weeks ago this little Tredegar Brooke showed up at my door. The barrel is 11" long and 2 3/8" in diameter the bore is 3/4". The slide is 14" long and 4 3/4" wide. I do have to say it is nicely made. Some day I'll get her out to see if see barks...

No kidding... Other day I asked the mailman if it would be possible for him to drop off checks instead of bills. After all, they both weigh about the same...

BoomLover,

The Brooke was made by a guy named B. Sloan in Cleveland, TN. Unfortunately, he is not a sponsor so, I cannot post his contact info. I did give him the website info incase he wants to drop by.
