Somewhere out there is a Griffin & Howe .30-40 Krag built on a Farquarson action. The G&H serial number is a 3-digit number, although I no longer recall it.

I used to see it at the Allentown, PA gun show for years, but couldn't afford it at the time. I think the asking price back then (early 1980s) was $3,500, which was several months' pay for me at the time. It was about the most beautiful single shot I'd ever seen and I've lusted after it for at least a quarter century.

Not particularly historic, nor even usable to me today as I can't really shoot iron sights very well anymore, but it's the one that springs to mind when you ask.
