No, just the Winchester High Wall book.

I did once own this rifle(the top one), but I wasn't smart enough to keep it frown

It's a Field's Patent falling block, .500-450 #1 Blackpowder Express (ya gotta love British cartridge names) very rare rifle. I think one other member here has one.

One of these days I'd like to find an original Fahrquharsen, preferably for under $10K !

Just went to the local gun show yesterday and saw a Ruger #1 in .303 British, Alexander Henry forearm and iron sights......very attractive rifle. I've never yhought seriously abour a #1 or a .303 Brit, but I liked that a bunch.
