An amazing rifle, ca. 1840, well ahead of its time!

Unbelievable...a beautiful rifle, incredible craftsmanship ..(y)(y)(y)
 
I had read about this rifle on the Westley blog. I bet this rifle is worth a fortune to a collector! Have never seen or heard of a Damascus scope until now, and from around 1840 too!!!
 
CT you did manage to find an interesting rifle in this beauty. That scope really is interesting.

Back After a Long Time – Hello Again!


Hi everyone,


I’ve been a member since 2015 but haven’t been active since 2017. Life got busy, especially with building my second business. Still, I’ve kept my passion for hunting and followed things from afar. Now that I have more time, I’m excited to reconnect, contribute, and be part of the community again.


All the best,
ANDY

I'd like a bag of 100. I could actually pick it up since I'm in North Irving, but if you prefer, shipping it is fine.
