J.E.B.’s LeMat

I met a young astronomer years ago who was descended from Confederate Gen. J.E.B. Stuart. “So where was he?” I asked the scientist. He knew immediately what I was referring to. He replied: “We should have won.” I said if we had he would most likely be a farmer and not an astronomer as there would be no call for astronomy. I do like this commemoration, 10-shot LeMat, .44 cal ball and .65 cal shotgun combined. A working copy of which you can reserve for a mere $3,395. But it’s really too pretty to shoot.

  1. Pretty indeed. A bit cumbersome to operate, I guess.

    Imagine reloading the thing on horseback. I suppose it has removable cylinders for quick reloading but that sometimes means taking the barrel off.
