David -
I do not know the answer to that although I do not believe so. This gun sat at Orvis for at least 8-10 years. I have found posts on this site about it (type in serial number) from Austin Hogan and others. They had priced it for the economy at that time (20 -25K). It gradually worked itself down to an affordable level. I have exchanged numerous emails with the widow of the owner. She is a wonderful person and I expect I would have enjoyed shaking hands with her late husband. They are from the northeast - not Tennessee.
