Here's another shot of 56th FG pilot Joe Curtis's mirrored P-47D.

I like the pearl grip .45 in the handmade holster

Those are probably ivory grips. According to Patton, only pimps carried pearl handled pistols ! :lol:

I believe it was "only New Orleans pimps".

Mudge, I believe the "New Orleans pimps " have since relocated since Katrina. Those pearl handles could be anywhere now ! :shock:

Rick,
Are you trying to tell us something :shock:

Yeah, Jack, most of the pearl handled revolvers that left New Orleans came to Houston, and I believe there's a bunch of them still HERE !!

The P-47 in the picture looks like a razorback, but I can't see enough to identify which version (B,C,D,G) it is. Does someone know anymore about this airplane and in particular when P-47s started using the side mounted mirrors?

Thanks,
Bill
