The only honorable thing is to buy these lethal weapons and then get them off our streets at a Gun Buyback. 🤓

That's the coolest thing since George Washington's hatchet that @BatteryOaksBilly used to have.

It was a tomahawk.

Strange that the Met had them. But no longer does.

 

[ProfMagoo(ret)]

A matched set. Just like the pair that slew your heroic Alexander Hamilton.

I have mixed feelings on this. They are part of American history and should stay in a museum where "the people" can treasure them. But then if one can afford them it would be nice to own them too.

So I’m guessing one of them has never been fired and only dopped once?

I have it now, though I had to replace the handle again.

So who can help me set up a Go Fund Me, and possibly an Only Fans too??

Interestingly, those weren’t the ones used in that duel.

Those pistols were sold by a descendant of Hamilton to Chase Manhattan Bank in 1930
