Many years go I saw a $500 gun for sale online at McDonald's Gunshop in Australia. I called and struck a deal on the I. Hollis SLNE. He verified it as pre-1898 and sent it to me USPS. When it arrived in a flimsy cardboard box I opened the box to find that the gun was wrapped in several layers of newspaper, with a little more stuffed in around it. Not a scratch on the beautiful English walnut, or the metal. He hadn't even insured it.

Sometimes you just get lucky.
