Glenn,
I’ll try to get some good pictures and post them on this thread, I have all the pieces for a Zischang-Borchardt just trying to get the person who made the triggers to tackle another installation. At the time he built four set’s installed two and made one from himself and one for me. Says making the trigger is just half of the job.
I located the original Leopold picture and it’s plain that the cartridges are a straight taper and no neck, so it’s the .28-30.
Bob,
I believe that your reference to Mann and Pope getting away might be in the Gerald Kelver book on Pope with all the reprinted letters.
Murphy,
Buying original single-shot rifles such as Schuetzen rifles are a thing of the past for me. I’m lucky that I bought well when I was younger, I never dreamed that the prices would rise to where they are today. All my good single-shots were bought from friends and acquaintances, just had to be in line. One Ballard took twenty years
