Return with us now to those thrilling daze of yesteryear. This was late ‘78 or early’79. Back when we all thought we was mounting mens! LOL! The rifle was built by Dutch Schillinger using one of his locks. And a GRRW .54 calibre barrel. It was closely copied from a Gemmer built St. Louis Hawken. Circa 1850-55 or so. Had that long fancy buckhorn rear sight! Was a nice rifle.

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
