122623 was a 1912 src. .303 that made it's way to B.C. and which is ,I believe a mirror blue though not much is left of the finish it shows that prospective. It needs to be reassembled ;at this point needing only a new saddle ring staple. Incidently your book will be in demand and so will David's for a long time out there.

I hope folks find it useful. And yeah.. your 1899F is the 3rd variation and would have had mirror blue finish and perchbelly stock. By serial number it would date to very early 1912, though guns didn't get finished in serial number order so it might have been accepted a bit later.

It just occurred to me in a brief bout of sobriety that I have not requested a copy. My apologies. If available I would like one.

Well.. I'll see if I can't find a spare, raggedy edged copy that's laying around after I ship all the rest. Anything for you, Roy! No, there'll be plenty. No worries. David is going to dig out his spreadsheet and send it to me here in the next couple of days for who got numbered copies. I'll try to stick with that so folks can have matching numbered books, at least for the first couple of months. I don't know how many empty slots are in that list, or how many folks won't be around to ask or maybe won't want a copy of mine. So if you don't have a numbered book from David Royal, you might need to wait a couple months before you can claim jump somebody else's number that hasn't spoken up. If the proofs that show up this week look good, there will be a web site up almost immediately that you can order unsigned copies from. Delivery will probably take 3 weeks after ordering. If the proofs don't look good or need fixes.. might be another 2 or 3 more weeks for me to get new proofs after making fixes. For those wanting signed or signed/numbered copies, I'll be posting up my address for folks to send a check to. I'll have to wait for a mass order to be shipped to me, and then ship them to you - so there will probably still be a 3 week delay before you get it in your hands. Joys of USPS. Yay.

Should we refer to it as Rory's or Calhoun's book?

Reserve a copy for me also, Rory. Could've used this book 5-10 years ago when I was in the throes of the addiction, before I entered rehab!

The spreadsheet is a mess. I didn't write the numbers by some people's names. Fortunately I saved all the letters. It'll take a while but I'll get them together and send them to you.

David.. we could just trust people to tell me the number they had. We have a trustworthy bunch here, don't we?

#'s 13 to 19 went to a local dealer. I'll take #14. The other numbers are up for grabs.

I'm #8, but #1 would be okay, as well.
