Yes, Jeff.

99guy, I do know the name of gentleman who owned the rifle before me but without permission from his family I will not publish his name. The rifle was in his possession until he died. Sadly, his family chose to sell it for mere money. I foolishly took a small amount monies my mother left me after her passing and paid mere money for an inheritance gift. wink

In the future I hope to meet the man that let go of this century old little goodie. smile

[And yes I'm very pleased to leave it to my boys. The younger, who is twelve, has already claimed as his own. cool
