The first thing that gun makes me think of is the A grade Sam Ogle had for sale a few years back. The engraving was very similar, at least in the game scenes.

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.
