And 2) I have quite a few radio shows of The Shadow and I don't remember him using a gun. I wonder if he did in the periodical?
    In the pulps The Shadow was really Kent Allard who "adopts numerous identities to conceal his existence.

    One of these identities—indeed, the best known—is Lamont Cranston, a "wealthy young man about town." In the pulps, Cranston is a separate character; Allard frequently disguises himself as Cranston and adopts his identity ("The Shadow Laughs," 1931). While Cranston travels the world, Allard assumes his identity in New York. In their first meeting, Allard/The Shadow threatens Cranston, saying that he has arranged to switch signatures on various documents and other means that will allow him to take over the Lamont Cranston identity entirely unless Cranston agrees to allow Allard to impersonate him when he is abroad. Terrified, Cranston agrees.
    The two men sometimes meet in order to impersonate each other ("Crime over Miami," 1940). Apparently, the disguise works well because Allard and Cranston bear something of a resemblance to each other ("Dictator of Crime," 1941)." from Wikipedia

            Now I'm going to start wanting that head, to see what I can do with it.

            I wonder how hard (as in permeability, not difficulty) it is. If it's like CTVT's other heads, then it's going to be more than somewhat squishy.

            I just might try rooting it with saran hair, just to see how it turns out.
