Geo, now that you've closed the loop on American guns, what next, Italian sports cars? Nice gun, btw. Neat buttplate. Gil

Congratulations, Geo..............I recall that you've been hunting for one of those guns. Wouldn't it be great to have been able to see it when the last hour's work was completed on it in the 1890s?

Geo;
On the Lefever do you have both the side-plated SAC guns & the box-lock & trigger-plate actioned guns by the D M Lefever Co.

Geo. The trip does not need to be done yet. You still need a example of a nice gun made in West Virginia. Then how about a late Lefever made in Defiance Ohio? Completely separate gun and company from the original Lefever company. The looking is most of the fun to me.

Miller and Jon, no I only have the LAC Lefevers. Of course there's also the Hopkins and Allen, Colt, and the side-swing George Fox guns out there as well. And maybe Bob Cash will donate a 21 if I get Stan to ask him nicely?...Geo
The great thing is that a "collection" is never really complete.

Geo,
I am glad Keith was able to make this happen for you. Along with the G.Fox, Boston Sideswing (there are 3 examples of), you also ought to have the Semi-Hammerless and the Whitmore patent Hammerless.
Forehand & Wadsworth, a graded Torkelson, Tobin, H&R/Deeley, etc...
Ever seen an engraved N.R. Davis?
For the love of doubles,
John
