Well done Gary. What a gem for your collection and I'm glad that it went to you where we can see it from time to time. Nice display at the Balto. show by the way.

Eric, congrats on the H&H Daryl shot the gun several times at the Hendry Co sheriff range where we shot skeet in Florida thats a real nice gun I hope it will bring you as much pleasure as it did Daryl guess I need to have another Gin and Tonic for my old friend, Gary

This time of year being basketball tourney time and hearing Dick Vitale groan on, Jim Valvano's moving speech comes to mind. "If everyday you laugh, you think and you cry, then that's a hell of a day"

Sounds like yesterday was a great day when people are thinking of their friend Daryl and their shared joy of classic SxS's.

I think I said it before, but "Thanks Gary for the great display at Baltimore".

And even more interesting to shoot in the meantime!

Gary, Let me echo the sentiments of Daryl and Bill; That was the best display of Vintage Guns I recall seeing in my 12 years of that show. I give you tons of credit for staying at the table and speaking to everyone. Did you ever get time to walk around the big room?

This thread would be a lot better with photos.

Plenty of high quality pictures in the catalog. #1314

H&H will give you a letter on it.

Eric, I just looked at it again in the catalog. No question, it’s original.

There is a H&H Rook rifle for sale at vintagefirearms.com. I just saw it today. I didn't even know they existed until this thread.
