Some of the most detailed descriitions of the repair and restoration of the "lost" Invincible (the one owned by publisher Henry Lyman) are contained in the Butterfield's Auction description of the gun as it was presented for sale, and the issue of Shooting Sportsman magazine just prior to the sale, within which the true story of the broken stock and subsequent pathway of repair and restoration are enumerated. These two brief vignettes dispel forever all but a wisp of the wind, smoke, and outright BS connected with the "last" of these fabulous guns.
