In digging through my files, I came across a few photos showing John Glenn being presented with a gift sometime after his Mercury flight.  Somehow I suspect that today the chances of an astronaut being presented a firearm as a recognition gift seems slim, especially as the presenters seem to be NASA itself. The placard in the box and engraved on the rifle state that it’s from the “PROJECT ENGINEERING OFFICE.”
