I thought that Ben was know for the 86 in 33 Winchester that he used for bears? Also remember he left his wife one day and did not return for many years, when asked what happened he said something like he started chasing a bear and it just kept going! Interesting fellow anyway. jay
It's ENTIRELY possible that the whole "Authentic, documented Ben Lilly '86" deal was a scam. I think I did mention Tombstone in there somewhere, and that's (counterfits with stories) a stock in trade there.
Pretty sure the one I looked at was a .45-90.
I DO have one of his horseshoes, however.
