For many years now I’ve been searching for something. It wasn’t a gun or a rare bullet mould. It was a simple magazine; precisely a Gun World magazine. I couldn’t remember its exact date but figured it had to be from late 1962 or early 1963. All I could really remember about it was that its cover was red and there was a blurb on it reading “Burp Guns Of Modern Armies.”

I now have that particular issue. It was from December 1962. A short while back a young fellow e-mailed me with a question. It seems his girlfriend had found a stack of old gun magazines at a yard sale and bought them for him. They dated from 1958 to 1962. His question was about a writer published in many of them. I couldn’t help him with that, but as a long shot asked him if one of those old gun magazines happened to have a red cover with a blurb about “burp guns.” The next day he e-mailed me a photo of its cover and said, “You mean this one?” Indeed I did and sent him enough bucks to take his girlfriend out for a nice dinner.
