In any even, great piece on an interesting gun and original owner.

Thanks for your comments Garry. Interesting observation concerning the balance point on this gun. I honestly had not checked it up until now. It balances a full 1.5" forward of the hinge pin. That prompted me to check 2 other 34" guns and they are almost identical in their balance points being well forward of the hinge pin.
