The last time I saw that picture was 25 years ago...the only thing I remember was errors in the text, but I can't remember what...could you post that photo and text please, or email it to me...careful for what you wish for...because every 3 or 4 years someone is selling one of the detatchable rib models...
It's interesting to note that Emil was into all kinds of guns as a young journeyman out west, but he returned to Michigan and formed a partnership with Robert Wrege on Water street in Bay City....he then focused on strictly sporting guns and tried to forget the shootin' irons he once repaired out west, that were used for shooting Indians. Emil was an advocate for the plight of the American Indians, and certainly had a sense of responsibility for the guns he was producing
