I was at Puglisi Arms Emporium in Duluth, Minnesota this weekend, which is a dream shop for hunters who enjoy classic and vintage firearms. If they had a cappuccino maker, I would have rolled out a sleeping bag and moved in for the whole weekend.

Among the many remarkable items they had were Mark Twain's pistol, which I handled, and one of Teddy Roosevelt's pith helmets that he used during of his African safari(s) - in fact, they let me try it on for size!

I am envious, glad you had as good time. Did any treasures follow you home?

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx
