Doesn’t look like it has been used much. Probably bought it as a spare.

I would love to have the one he used to kill two Mexican Bandits with.

Above is a link to the WWII+70 years thread. On page 10 it talks about Patton’s visit to the Whitehouse. “Patton Invades Whitehouse” (Oh to see that headline today!).

A reporter asked him where his two revolvers were.

Patton replied something like “On duty I only wore one, except for one landing where I wore two.”

When asked about the pearl handled “automatic” pistol (I’m guessing a 1911?) he was seen wearing in Boston, Patton replied - “Oh - that was my social gun.”
