I think there are more than me who would like to see the letter. And Mike, I have a collection of $40.00 letters on guns that I don't own. Thanks, Jim.

It appears that was a well used gun.

The letter explains the rubber butt, but not the "4" stamp. Have we seen a B grade hammerless gun without beads on the breech balls? It's a great letter. The gun, not so much, with mismatched barrels.

Ridden hard and put away wet. I think the original owner was either doppy or hunted harder than most do.
