I just got a later 6/8"heavy grind Wade & Butcher in good shape for $10.00 & it would shave when I got it at a local flea market.
I also am from Illinois. I live in St. Joseph just east of Urbana on I-74. Is Cowden near Carbondale?We should get together. I am looking for a concealed carry pistol & you might be able to help me.
Best to you!
