This would be big medicine for elk in the thick..............should buy it just to honor Leon Courtney and Charlie Cottar.................FWB
 
Oh how I wish it was local.
 
Good luck finding that rifle here for that estimate. The closeups look like original 85% condition or so. One would have to check the bore, but if it passes muster as well, it would be a great buy even with a 22% buyers premium.
 
Mike...................can I shoot a few trophies with it?:LOL: Mfg date 1915...........FWB
 
Is there any way to get it back to USA and cost to do it.
 
Its a long ways from home...nice.
 
Action Bob, I often agree with you, but I already have 3 rifles in .405 and my 1895 "shooter" is a TD fitted to me. Since I am not a collector, I have to pass. However, that is not a bad price for the listed 1895.
 
The whole export/import drill to the States would be complicated and expensive. However, assuming the bore is in good shape, this rifle would likely retail for around 4K - 6K on this side of the Atlantic (it's a Roosevelt thing). The Rhoda markings would probably add a little more of a premium. Get it for high estimate or below ..............
