WOW! Can't wait to see pictures but please display the C at the Vintagers. Great story of friendship and taking a flyer that paid off two decades later. Very nice.

I'm excited about this as much as anyone....but you're going to jinx it if you start the counting before the chickens are hatched.

Sounds like a good occasion to pull one of your stockpiled bottles of Jack Daniels special reserve out for a nip or two...

Thanks to all that commented and congratulated. The secured funds are in the mail and I am patiently waiting. 1897 gun, so no FFL to deal with. Communication is cut off because my computer went out just before I left for 11 days in the hospital. Will be home today and will start the serious waiting. I will try to get my friend, Kevin McCormack to spiff up the #38 Parker leather trunk case for the trip to Rick Hemingway's. I know that original Parker walnut cases seem to have survived in some numbers. What is the survival rate of pre-1900 Parker leather cases? This is the first one I remember identifying, certainly the first I have identified from the original order.
