Subject: Bullet proof harps???? Is there one out there?

The only real 'bullet proof harp' might've been the one belonging to
Frank James (brother of Jesse, and member of the notorious James
Gang.) According to legend, Frank's life was supposedly saved during
a gunfight when a bullet was deflected off the harp he carried in his
breast pocket....

(AFAIK there seems to be little real factual basis for this story,
but ya gotta love it anyway. Sounds like a few taverns I've played.
