Re: Jon Swindle Passed Away, Celebration Sept. 10 in MD
Yup, Jon is gone and now most of his guns are gone. I camped out outside of his garage for forty some years trying to make offers on his Fraser hammer pigeon gun. I finally own it, but his Dalys have gone to other homes. I have too many. Jon was a great shot, up to the end. About thirty five years ago, we had a trading session and he ended up with a covey of my dad's guns. After Jon's death, I was able to buy back dad's Model 42 Winchester, the first of my 42 collection. The rest of dad's guns are in the wind. Jon had a great array of Ponsness Warren 375s, one of which I was able to buy.
