7,35mm Carcano, I admire your dedication, Orthodox or not.
Ford: Hell, call me out by name as I posted it & I for one witnessed in it Italy specifically and I am sure it was universal for the most part across Europe.
Let's face it, Sporting Weapons Platforms from the Golden Age of Gunning more than likely peaked in value circa 2015 and more than likely will never again rise to the level of value nor interest. Said platforms are so cheap that they can be acquired in Europe, imported into the U.S. of A. and still make a profit for now. I hear sourcing on the number of hundreds and trying to see if worth importing. Sad but such common archaic platforms are going to go the way of the Dodo Bird. Stamped Metal semis with no Soul are going to be the norm and even Purdey & Fanzoj may find it difficult to find a handful of clients every year, even with a UNESCO medallion??? Even now Trigger @ Westley Richards gives that they only need 2 dozen clients per year to stay afloat.
The only upshot is that if U.S. of A. Outfitters limit a semi to 2 cartridges or supply doubles will prolong the agony. That's about the only factor to keep the drive alive.
One of a dying breed, but that's where I thrive......
Hochachtungsvoll,
Raimey
