If I had really wanted a 68/68 that one I would have never posted here. I did so because I knew that others here would possibly have more of an interest than myself even though I did put in a couple earlier bids. No heart break on my part. My earlier post to Fred was mainly humor towards his rifles producing a litter. I have a very nice 68/69 that was purchased from Al. In the 1400 range and I’m more than pleased with it. My main interest is in finding an 1870 type I which seems to be an elusive find.
