Patton’s Hardware

Posted on by Leave a comment

General George Smith Patton, Jr. (11 November 1885 21 December 1945), is a legend in US military history. In his 60-years of life, he spent the majority of it wearing one uniform or another and died on active service. Forever the warrior, he is fittingly buried in a military cemetery in Europe, not far from where he died.

As a soldier, he carried many guns, but one of these is almost as famous as he was.

However, if you ever get to the Louisville area, be sure to check out the Patton Museum (before it all gets moved to Benning!)

Yes, its Patton's Colt Peacemaker, and no those are not pearl handles. Only a pimp from a cheap New Orleans whorehouse would carry a pearl-handled pistol.
