“You don’t get lard unless you boil the hog!”

A good friend just stopped by and dropped off a really cool miniature of Davy Crockett from Conté Collectibles (called “Tennessean Swinging Rifle”) — part of their pewter Alamo set.

Another friend snapped this picture of it. (I’m blessed to know such good people.)

Below is a full-size figure that the Conté guy strongly resembles. The subject is one of Wayne’s lines from The Alamo (1960).
