Quote of the Day


1836 flintlock pistol (minus the flint) by Asa Waters, Millbury, Massachusetts.

From the opening of Chapter 18 of Gun Machine by Warren Ellis. Recommended by Roberta X (I think).

Stringer 'fucking' Bell was the brains behind the Barksdale organization in The Wire. The picture of the pistol a free bonus, because I had to (compelled, I was) to look it up yesterday. It is the same model as the oldest one that was found in 'the room' in the book.
