A Fine double- maybe-

[OH Osthaus]

i doubt anyone can tell you that without inspecting the gun

would you pay $200 for it just to hang it on the wall??


personally - mirror bores in any old gun- especially a lower grade one- makes me worry about honing. what is the minimum wall thickness?

i won't pull a trigger on an old gun without knowing that
