Bill, next time how about cutting and pasting the link?
Otherwise I'd like to keep Tammi Faye's gun as my personal fantasy...

I can't find the auction using your instructions. I did search around and find this little guy who needs a home - originally sold to a buyer in Ketchikan in 1927. I'm sure Ketchikan was just a wide spot in the road then - this must have been one of the finest rifles in town.

(Have to cut and paste - not sure why the link doesn't work in hypertext...)

Here is the real Tammy Fay gun: http://www.auctionflex.com/showlot.ap?co...=16&lang=EnI found it using the instructions and it is surprisingly restrained! No carving or gold filling, no eye liner...

Wow - that's quite something. Why would Ol' Jim be preachin' in front of the Vatican? (That looks like St. Peter's to me.) Typical tasteless, tone-deaf gun jewelry, just what I would expect from them.

Nice gun, but too expensive when one considers how much it would cost to have it re-engraved. I wonder how many donations from fixed income retirees it took for ol' Tammi to afford it?

I remember when my alma mater removed the "Donated by Rev. Jim and Tammy Baker" Plaques from the sky-way. Ill bet he got that a lot

sdh, sorry to remove you from my preferred guru list, my take is that the Savage 99 is one of the few intrinsically good looking repeating rifles, IMO it in fact looke best without fancy wood or engraving. Can't imagine why you dislike it. As poor Latin speakers say, de gustibus non est disputandum. there is no dispurisng tastes. Certainly the 99 is by miles and miles the handsomest lever gun.
