A factory letter would shed a lot of light on the subject. If and when I get to Cody I hope I can look this one up. The rifle belongs to Baily Brower. John Wright bought the Tue engraved 1895 pictured on page 4 of Bailey's book a number of years ago. John said Bailey didn't have a letter on 33390 at that time. John was also skeptical about the engraving.

Thanks for the offer Joe Would love to but need to get a few ducks in a row on the new place and wait till covid is well and truly buried if it ever will be
Cheers Graham
Graham, a little off topic, but Gary, two or three other guys from the campfire, and I used to meet every other week or so for lunch, at our favorite Pub/Brew House. Unfortunately, they went out of business, I don't think it was our fault? Lucky for us, there is another Pub just up the road, and on special, they have Roo Taco's. They are pretty good. Is Kangaroo served in restaurants down there?

I don't think they eat kangaroo's Joe. I know you remember what Prince Phillip said ... " if it has wings and it flies , legs and it walks or fins and it swims the chineese will eat it.

Back in the 70's my buddy drove long haul. He picked up a refer load on the West Coast and took it to a McDonalds processing plant, said it was Kangaroo. I didn't believe him. A year or two later it was in the news. The problem was their 100% beef advertising. I heard they got around it on a technicality, in some parts of the world they call all red meat beef.

I just did a search and they say that McRibs made from Roo is an urban legend. Their records didn't go back into the 70's. Most of their myths were from the 2000's.

My Daughter backpacked around Australia for almost a year. She said Kangaroo was offered at restaurants and markets. She brought me some Kangaroo jerky......

Don't have Kangaroos in New Zealand they are an Aussie thing We have wallabies here that were released and spread like weeds I know a lot of people hunt them mainly as pest control. Don't know if they eat them

I distinctly remember that actually happening here in the States in the '80s .... An independent test was performed and they found kangaroo meat in with the beef . This was before McDonald's advertised the fact that it was USA made beef . At the time a good portion of McDonald's beef was Australian raised . This was also the independent laboratory who found cow corn not fit for human consumption being used for tortilla chips by Taco Bell , Frito-Lay and others . Yum .

Maybe the Aussies slipped some roo in with the beef and didn't tell Mickey D's.
