Yeah I think back when the rifle sold it was discussed on the forum regarding legitimacy.
Sufficed to say “Not all great minds” in the collecting community think alike.
Sincerely,
Maverick
P.S. I thought there was a private sale of the engraved gold washed 73 that sold for more.

Here you go!
Once we all got beyond the hype, starting with post #24, we, collectively, begin to look at this one more critically.
I’ve read the previous thread. I have a different perspective not being a millionnaire and it’s one that makes me sick to my stomach. I cannot believe a gun of so much value has so many questionable aspects to it. Just a little investigative work can bring to light how wrong something can actually be. As you know I’m not an auction house fan & I’m on the side of not original.
