Mills, I'm shocked that gun went for what it did.... I was the first bidder and kept watching until it started to get silly.
Last year David Trevallion had an identical gun in his shop that had been there for years, (owner couldn't decide what he wanted done), except the gun at his shop had an original stock. It was apparently not for sale, as I had made an extremely attractive offer but the owner said it was a family heirloom and he wouldn't sell at any price.
