Ted,
I understand the principles of supply/demand. Just wondered what you thought the gun's realistic market value was.
Thanks for pointing out the brick-like quality of the bottom of the action.
I hadn't noticed that when I made the graceful claim.
Still, I think the shaping of the breech balls and the way the lines on the top of the action flow back and down from the
breech towards the top of the stock and sideplates are graceful. Not unlike the early Sauer Knock-abouts.
BTW, I happen to like that 16 of yours. I've seen the pics.
