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

Unbelievable...a beautiful rifle, incredible craftsmanship ..
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!!!
I'm surprised you haven't try to buy it yet....bet you don't already have one of these!!!!
