WOW!!
I just gave my great-nephew my father's pre-64 Model 94, in 32 Special for a graduation gift... It was in the same condition as the referenced rifle.

"Ah...say Caleb...I feel badly about giving you that old rifle. I know you'd really rather have a nice AR-15 with a shiny new red dot scope on it???" "I got it right here! What do you say we swap right now and your uncle can get shed of this guilt I been carrying 'round."

“My horn is full and my pouch is stocked with ball and patch. There is a new, sharp flint in my lock and my rifle and I are ready. It is sighted true and my eyes can still aim.”
