Mfg. in 1894?? Yep, that one is a collectable. If it were mine, I'd clean that baby up as well as possible, and hang onto it, without shooting it anymore. You've "made meat" with it, so why not relegate it to a place of honor?

Thansk for the feedback folks. Having taken meat I may put it up. I do have a .45-70 pre-cross bolt I wish to use next year.
