Michael,I did'nt hear that particular story, butI saw the "Speed Graphic" that got 'Itself'shot at "A Farm" Marengo,Illinois!!!I wonder where those Beautiful Single-Shot rifles are to-day?? I have a English Oak,"Coffin Rifle-Case" With a Brass Name Plate on the outside of the lid, Engraved'William Cooper. 7 Union Court. Liverpool.The case is 55" long. JA told me it was built for a'Whitworth Rifle aprox 1850-1860" A similar case is pictured in Gun Digest1983 P110(JA gave me the page with the case)..DT
My Amber catalog is dog eared and I have wondered were they all are, I few came to Alaska and are still with the owners. I was just looking through a auction catalog for next month and saw a rifle that looked familiar then realized it was one I had sold many moons ago. Looks like John had more than one “Accident”.
