Diana Grade Sample

Interesting article in the Spring '12 DGJ about the Diana Grade Fox sample gun. I suppose that belongs to someone on this board. I'd love to know the provenance of that one.

It lives out in Missouri. I probably first got to handle it in the early 1990s when the Headricks had it.

I talked with Bill Headrick tonight; apparently lots of folks have discussed trying to make it into a gun. I hope that never happens; it is an awesome piece of provenance just as it is! Great article. Bill doesn't see these posts, etc, but thanks anyway!
