I pulled the camera out this morning.  Here are two .44-40’s.  Each carbine has one special order feature.  One has a full nickel plate finish.  The other has a rifle butt (that letters).  Both are untouched and unmolested.  However, whenever you post pictures there’s always a chance someone will spot something.  There are some very good eyes around here. 

A friend of mine (who lusts after both of them) asked me what I thought they were worth.  I responded that it depends – am I selling them or is Chayn’s or Austinsguns selling them 😉  Opinions?

What are the serial numbers? I just want to see if I have them in my survey.

Steve,

The top SRC has the rear barrel band incorrectly installed (backwards).
