The two cuts resemble those on a Krag rifle I have that was used on one of the target machines pictured in Brophy's book.

Well I thought about getting into the fight for the case of Trapdoors. Watched the auction and was about to bid and it went from 8500 to 12,000 in a split second and than it jumped to 29,000. Well to say the least I was left in the dust. But it was fun for that split second.

Watched it go.

WOW!

Word is that the crate is not "original" in the true sense of being a virgin period find - it is believed to have been assembled in the Las Vegas area (need I say more) within the last 20 years.

Still, it is imposing to look upon, and the dealer who bought it will likely make a profit. Serials span a range of 300,000 overall, but there is one consecutively numbered pair.

Yeah, but your tongue ends up in a hospital ward, in traction!
