"What a great and beautiful gun! Glad to see more GA folks on here".
Brother 67G - I've been "here" for years, just seldom post these days; want to avoid getting caught up in the bickering involving too many posts, and many others are technical in nature and beyond my expertise. So I limit my comments to areas where I do have knowledge, and to those I think might be of interest to collectors. And in that regard am glad some members found this Optimus "discovery" interesting, as I've since learned this to be the earliest/lowest serial number Optimus yet recorded by the LACA. These early Optimus guns are indeed beautiful examples of "gun art", but neither the subject gun or the Harrison Optimus come close to being as beautiful as the Linneman Optimus featured in the Spring 2001 issue of the Double Gun Journal.
And for what it's worth, although Brother Stan still hails from GA, yours truly is now a resident of SC; relocated in 2013 for a career opportunity too good to pass. So SC is now "home", meaning I really need to update my profile; but Lord how I miss those red clay hills of my north GA home!
By the way, I've always admired the 60's era Galaxies and consider the '67 Galaxie a great looking car; but my favorite Galaxie models were the '63 and '64 "fastbacks".
