[what has been written here and there on occasion have been declarative statements issued without backup data, that were then repeated as fact until it became circular scholarship (where have I seen this tendency before?).]

[Footnote: I still have a suspicion that General Westmoreland's famous ivory handled APFK actually had a Delrin handle.]

Gee, I wonder how these misconceptions could ever come about??

FYI, Bo Randall said that it was an ivory handle....good enough for me...
