Bruce - fantastic gun and story. Original gold inlaid 1883’s are incredibly rare - I think this is the 3rd I have seen. I searched the past auctions and only two others have been sold publicly in the last 20 years. Oddly enough both of them had been offered publicly a couple of times each at different auctions.
If anyone sees a vintage gun that is gold inlaid “J.S. Loewensteiner “ please let me know!
