Thanks, friends.
I 'spose I should explain a bit.
I own the Sterlingworth Co. gun.
Back a few years ago, King Brown was in need of a great example of a Fox gun. Off went the best Sterlingworth I had ever seen. It was the true "benchmark" gun for judging color and blue.
I never regretted sending it off as King would use it well.
But, I missed it greatly.
I came across this one, its equal, and bought it. Paid a premium. You would have as well.:}
I have been offered a trade. I wanted your help in making that painful decision, as I am close to folding my tent and retiring from the great gun search.:}
Thanks, again. I am close to deciding.
Best,
John
PS---I am going to the Amoskaeg auction. There is a collection of pristine Remington Nylon 22s. I am only about 20 degrees less enamored of them than great SxSs.
