On the other hand..........Possibly........once the provenance is known, if ever, of the back strap, there could be a REAL story. I'm sure not too many cow-pokes went around having things like "Arizona Territory 1895" engraved on their guns. It has a commemorative ring to it. It may just have been a "cool" replacement part (or whatever term they had back then for "cool" ...."Bees Knees"???) or it may have been just a part.
Then again, we might never know..........but hey, Weimar, keep us informed. Its these sort of discoveries that help make a man a little more "immortal".
