I’m really happy with the way this one came out, given the circumstances. The photo was shot through a glass display case using the iPhone camera.
According to the display placard, this is a .38 “Smith and Wesson Special CTG” (Edited to add: I just realized the display placard is probably just echoing the barrel marking) that was carried by George H.W. Bush during his WWII service. I am not completely sure if this is the one that he was carrying when he was shot down. At some point in the near future, I intend to email the staff at the GHWB Presidential Library and ask them if they have a record of this gun’s serial number.
