Boltman,
Yes, I ignored it for 3 days, but so did all the other single shot guys at Denver. Many of them I know personally and later told me they thought the same thing; it was too ugly to even look at.
But old guns by famous barrel makers need to have excellent bores, or you've really lost a lot of the value put on their name being on the barrels. Not much good to have a Pope or Schoyen, but have a poor bore, since that's the real reason people want these maker's guns.
I bought my 3 barrel Pope set at Denver another trip, and I missed seeing it for 2 days, even though it was only two rows away from me! And after discovering it, and buying it; I asked the seller if he'd gotten any others looking at it? He said three guys had, but all passed on it. Like the Schoyen, he had the fitted case, plus a cigar box full of Pope tools under his table! I just don't understand how people function selling collectible firearms and not displaying them with everything that goes with them?
