I wasn't following this one, but when I saw the link to the completed auction, I thought..."I would have liked to have had that one." It is tough with a non-responsive seller, given the dollar amounts.

A very worthy candidate for a restock and restoration work. I will find a an A grade at some point...

I wouldn’t restock that gun if Dudley or Patton thought they could dress up the crack a bit and make it usable .

Those were my thoughts, a good wood guy would make those cracks disappear.

It’s a shame it wasn’t a beautiful hammer gun, next I would have had to ask Edgar to spot me a loan

Think if the letter made no mention of removing the safety I’d have that straightened out as well .

Who’s this other Edgar you speak of? I’d like to meet him.

Maybe NY, but it's pretty scarce here in PA

Oh well, I had better head out to the tobacco patch to hoe weeds

NO! The real big $$ is with the Southern Indiana Cartel!

I hear the SIC scored another coup on a B grade 12g Parker with a lot of special high end engraving. Maybe someone will bring it next week for Show & Tell?
