Well I'm glad he had you to call Mike! Fantastic good fortune for you! Congratulations on getting it! Is there any chance of letting us know what you had to give for it?

Hi Fred:

The story I told about finding the rifle happened 7 years ago. The "sale" was a amicable affair, he didn't want to make money
off me and I likewise didn't want to hurt him. He just wanted the rifle to go to somebody who appreciated it and could do the
sale legally. Since I have an FFL, that made it easy for him. I gave him $1,500 at the time and we both were happy.

Looking at how these have appreciated, I'm still happy. I keep telling my wife "collector guns are better than money in the
bank." Fortunately, she still believes me!!

Mike

I think that you did well Mike. Outstanding good fortune! We'd love to see more photo's of the rifle if that's possible.
