Here's another beauty from the same collector with the excelsior grade, willing to treat us all with another close-up view.

Nice photo's. Keep them coming.

Beautiful. And my favorite engraving style, too!

WOW! There's one lucky SOB somewhere!!!

I think those are really Jeff's. He just tinkers on the old rats to draw our attention away, then he covets these in a secret safe, Joe.

They're not mine Joe (Lordy no,..I'd need to drive one, and live in the other, to have rifles like these!). The pictures are from a generous collector, who has been graciously sharing his experience with me, answering my questions, and gently guiding me away from tinkerbell hell. I'm working up my nerve to ask about being adopted.

WOW!!! I have this exact gun, except the condition is like 20% not 98%!! Rare combination combined with high condition sure makes this a rare rifle!!
