No, they bought the weapon Pat Garret said he used to shoot the Kid with, but did he? What they bought was a maybe based on a story a known bullshit artist told in the 19th century .
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Have to agree with JYD on this one. Final cost is probably close to 6.5 million (fees and other BS) Hell you could get a case of 7.62 x 39 and 3 or 4 sheets of 3/4 plywood for that kind of money :chuckles:
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!
