Look how close the SN's are too. I still kick myself for not buying this gun.

Mark, you said you had questions about the gun?

The big question is should it be sent out to be redone
And value there after?
I am curious about value after it is restored?
Who would be the one to do it to capture the most value after
Thanks for the offer to help get pictures up
Nice that people on here are so ready to help

Thanks Mark

Greg, you didn't buy that thing??

Fishtail · 10-15-2013, 10:39 AM

Nope. It was for sale for $17K and I had ample time but I just didn't.

Mark, it is definitely an interesting gun. Have you sent for a letter about it yet? I am curious if information is available about who placed the original order for it. Were you able to decipher the "stenciled?" address? on the right side of the stock and have you found a name that goes with the initials on the grip cap? Thanks you for sharing the pictures and other information with us. Fred.

I did send for a letter on Monday
I will add later today what it says on the stock as best I can read it
I have also been asked to add some more pictures of the wood which I will try and do today
