I'm still sitting down from seeing those photos. Brian, I hope you can be at peace with that gun in its current condition. It still shows the beauty it had when first crafted.

Sad thing is, Parker Bros. or Remington could still have been in operation for barrel replacement when it happened, looking at how long it has been wasting away.

BrianLiszkay;

That last picture, is that the scene of the crime so to speak? I'd love to hear the rest of the story on how it was found, etc.
