received an awesome gift today
my father came home from my grandfather's house this morning and said he had something for me. he pulled a block of wood out of his shirt pocket and it was a scratcher type call that my great-grandfather had made. it was very smoke stained or whatever as it's been through a house fire. i'm VERY proud of this. i see this being a perfect addition to the display i plan to have someday in my own homewith my other great-grandfather's pocket knife and my grandfather's stevens double barrel 20g.
i'll get pictures for you guys as soon as possible.

Definately a girt to cherish! There is nothing better than something like that. Hofully you will call in a bird or two with it (assuming its functional) before it goes to the shelf? Either way, Awesome!

RE: received an awesome gift today
it is functional but very fragile. i'm not sure i'm going to carry it in the woods.
i forgot to mention that my mom's father's canteen that was on his hip during teh battle of the rhine in ww2 would be a part of said display as well as the 48 star flag that was draped over a great-great uncles casket at his funeral in '44. he was a p38 pilot and was killed in an accident where a bomb didn't turn loose until he landed.
