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).
