Yup, I had two, but now just one.  Ser. #151831 45-70.  Not pristine, but a real “Hunter”/pig shooter! The sling and Lyman sights are not in the Letter.  RDB

The “climbin’ Lyman” may not be in the letter but that and the sling installation tell us a lot about somebody who owned it, to wit: it was a rifle to “do bidness’ with” as we say down here.  It deserves pride of place in your collection.
