To ted and rabbit, two of the great luminaries of this BBS system, Loy and Flues were just a couple of flying turnips who scratched guns... so before these guys begin to poo-poo Flues' engraving skills, I would like to mention that he also;
1) carved the action by hand without machinery/electricity
2) designed and hand made all the internals
3) knit the bbls, ribs, and lumps together
4) joined the action to the bbls
5) stocked and checkered
6) blued and finished it
If that isn't enough...he designed, PATENTED, handmade and installed a single selective trigger mechanism which has an additional adjustable length of pull feature.
also
Correction...I've not seen the Tom Mix' gun or Kornbrath's personal gun which both reside at the Cody museum, so I don't know if they are one thousand dollar grade or two thousand dollar grade (sidelocks)...I should have checked before I said "all" the two thousand dollar grades are still missing.
