That Wurfflein is in beautiful shape but as Brent mentioned, that must have kicked!
To change the conversation a bit, what are a couple of rifles that you saw at gunshows and then passed up only regretting it later?? Mine were both at Sioux Falls at their February show. (a good one if you're into older guns) The first was about 10 years ago, when I saw a Hawken style rifle on a table. Not knowing much about Hawkens, I said is that a Hawken? His comment was "I think some of it is but it has Gibbon on the lock". It was marked J&S Hawken St Louis. It had a neatly inlaid piece of tin on the bottom of the forearm and I said well somebody did a nice job of patching that up. $1200. Went home and bought Baird's book and found it was all original. The tin was inlet to prevent saddle wear through to the ramrod channel. The other was a very nice shortrange Borchardt that the guy had just bought from a walk through. I could have purchased it at a nice price but then asked myself "what would you do with that?" Passed on it and have regretted it ever since. Dumb on my part.
