Thanks for the replies. I have been cleaning up and refinishing a Model 17, but wanted one with more classic "British" type lines and a top lever. This one seemed to fit the bill, stock looked good plus I have seen good reports on this company from other C&R folks. I called and Dave had me call back in about an hour and he gave me a more complete over the phone appraisal of condition. I will see when it arrives. Price seems very good compared to other Continental makes.
