Using single letter die stamps, someone stamped the leather wrist strap "KING FARO- P. SPENCE- TOMBSTONE". <BR><BR><B>Condition:</B></I> The pistol is uniformly pitted and appears quite old. Wood grips are sound but well worn. The leather wrist strap with its brass mechanism is not nearly as old as the pistol.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Smal (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
