P.S. The photo was taken at a time when America still had a true understanding of the values of freedom and the need to defend them with real force...

The Texas is afloat again! She looks pretty good for a 110 year old ship (launched 18 May 1912 and commissioned on 12 March 1914). Those guns if they were operable could sink anything afloat today in a one to one action barring missiles and aircraft.

@dadbaker765, I have asked how much a set would be, I have not gotten a reply yet. My Grandpa spent all of WWII on the Texas, I went and saw her in 2018 and I look forward to seeing her again when she is at her new home.

I currently have a set of 1911 grips made from the post-WWII pine BB35 deck, I also have a small section (seen under the 1911) of the WWII teak deck board. My Grandpa passed in 2006 when I was in Iraq, there were a great deal of words unsaid between us, it is one of my few regrets in life.
