Matther Walker MD Colt 38 Super

[RASHGUNNER]

I receintly found this 38 Super and was horrified to see that someone had engraved a name on the slide. But now after doing some research as to who this man was I am rather proud to own this pistol now.

He was a MD in the Nashville area and has a Public Helath Clinic named after him.

Evidentally he was an avid hunter and shooter.

Thats pretty neat. Most of the guns I find like that, have someones drivers license # scratched on the side!

That is way too cool !! You should check out and document the history of the previous owner. I would probably be very interesting as well as add to the value of your gun

That's very cool and harkens back to the day when men's achievements were honored with fancy, engraved guns.

I have great respect for any self-made man, and Dr. Walker was certainly one of those. The OP's pistol is truly a unique piece of American History.

For the sake of history, I'd love to see this in a museum...that will never happen, since it's a nasty evil gun that kills people.

Take good care of this, Rashgunner. You've got something very special, and it seems like you truly understand its value.
