Lowell the asking price was astrO'nomical...

The part that really ticked me off was that I asked him point blank with the gun in his hand.
I said..."I know the gun has been restored that doesn't bother me if it's a good job..look it over really good. What fault kind you find with this gun ?"
His reply was..."The only thing I can see wrong with it is the color case is too bright"....I replied "thats probaly the least of my worries" at which he replied "that's all I can see wrong with the gun".

The Makers name was polished from the rib not a big deal but the pits up the rib were. I could've lived with that but not the smash...the smash was about 7 or 8 inches up from the breech plugs on the right side of the rib....there is only one way to smash a rib without denting or damaging the barrel.
