Bob F, I don't recall you mentioning what work was done to the rifle? Was it just a cleanup?
Regards.
Yeah, that's basically it. Nothing was done that would detract from the collector value or historical importance / significance of the rifle. A good cleaning of the metal, repair of some oil damaged wood (in the internal stock inletting), the end cap was coming unglued and that was repaired, a good cleaning of the stock... those types of things.
