Sounds like a good occasion to pull one of your stockpiled bottles of Jack Daniels special reserve out for a nip or two...

Thanks to all that commented and congratulated. The secured funds are in the mail and I am patiently waiting. 1897 gun, so no FFL to deal with. Communication is cut off because my computer went out just before I left for 11 days in the hospital. Will be home today and will start the serious waiting. I will try to get my friend, Kevin McCormack to spiff up the #38 Parker leather trunk case for the trip to Rick Hemingway's. I know that original Parker walnut cases seem to have survived in some numbers. What is the survival rate of pre-1900 Parker leather cases? This is the first one I remember identifying, certainly the first I have identified from the original order.

Gary, another six or eight weeks gun room recovery for the new right hip. May be able to look at guns at Rick's, not much before.

What happened to your hip? Didja break it? I never saw you limping... and I know from limping, trust me!

Should I get in line for your guns??

Anyway, keep us posted. I expect pictures... USPS is okay - I know you don't post pictures.

Nope, no broken hip, a replacement, just an aged and abused body on a journey to complete destruction, part by part, day by day. In reference to your second question, I guess I should ask The Lovely Linda to start preparing a Rolodex of current email addresses because my junk is not going to be sold with an 18 1/2% buyer's premium. At my estate sale, a cased .410 Skeet marked at $7500.00 will sell for $7500.00, no tax, no buyer's premium. Y'all come.
