Well...my first Thompson (a gift) is about 50 years old, tremendously well used, and for all intents and purposes, seems like it's tougher than a 2 dollar steak. A couple of years ago, God let me buy a top of the line TCR (leather, large print, thumb index) from Kirkbride and there is a real difference in the quality that I can see compared to other Bibles. Better leather and paper, nice type, just amazing. Since it goes everywhere with me I keep it in a cover so I think that will keep it from too much destruction. I am 54 so I expect it will be my final main gun.
