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.
