Yes it is quite impressive, and that is one of the primary reasons why I made the decision that I needed to own this rifle.
Has the possibility of finding family photos of Dr. Weuster’s with this gun been explored? It was common in the ’40s & ’50s to keep scrapbooks of hunting photos, & the Dr. was obviously proud of his expensive rifle.
The son-in-law of Dr. Weuster was the owner of the rifle until he sold it to Pre64win.com, and he asked if he could be informed of who bought the rifle (me) so that he can reach out to me. I provided my contact information and I am hopeful that he does contact me in the near future.

If he doesn’t (other concerns may be more pressing), I’d make sure he understood your appreciation of how carefully the family preserved the “collection.” How easily it might have passed into the hands of some gun-hating descendant who despised Dr. Weuster’s legacy!
