Special was my word. A better word might have been what was used in the first reply 'desirable.' Thanks.

"Crispy" would be my terminology if the colors are original. Someone got a nice gun if everything is as it appears. There is no provenance information on post-1920 guns. Basic specs is all you will get. Unfortunately, this gun has none. I would buy it based on what I see.

If you look at the bidding history, the eventual buyer jumped in about 3 hours before the auction ended at $1642. He was determined to win the gun and went head to head with another bidder who entered the race even later. So you had a two man race at the end and pushed the gun to its eventual selling price. Strictly auction dynamics at work. No mystery here!

Maybe Brian will get to fix the crack in the wrist.
