Several of y'all posted helpful guidance in my search for an Arminius logo for the old revolver that my dad gave me as a high school graduation present in 1964. The gun is maybe worth $100 but its sentimental value to me is priceless.
That thread got locked or something, but here it is:
Here is what my revolver with the missing Arminius logo looked like:
I finally found a guy selling a wooden handle for an Arminius in an online auction and I bought it. I destroyed the wooden handle and got the logo off and glued it to my revolver:
Arminius, aka Hermann, leader of the Cherusci tribe of Germans, who wiped out 3 legions of Romans at the Battle of Teutoberger Forest in AD 9.* Fine name for a weapon.
*Yes this will be on the exam.
Also neighboring the city of Ulm, in South-western Germany on the Danube with the highest church steeple in the world, (Ulm Minister), and the birthplace of Albert Einstein.
Also is home to a proof house, and the factories of J.G. Anschutz , Walther Arms, and Krieghoff GmbH, right there on the Danube River. Closer to the Black Forest but in the same state is the home of Heckler & Koch, and Mauser. All in the state of Baden-Wurttemberg,
including the city of Rottweil, home of the Rottweiler Metzgerhund or Butcher Dog.
My w*fe and I stayed at the Hotel "Ulmer Spatz" (the Ulm sparrow, symbol of the city) less than 200 yards from the Ulm Münster. The "Münster" bells went off every 15 minutes. I have never before or since have had such intense nightmares, I swear my experience there almost makes me believe in reincarnation...I have not returned to Ulm since 1990 and if I do I will NOT spend the night there.
PS I also have several unpaid parking tickets from Ulm, so I won't be renting a car there any more either...
The Dakota (Eastern) Sioux tried to burn out the citizens of New Ulm during the great uprising of 1862. They were saved when a violent thunderstorm blew in, putting out the fires and driving away the Santee.
