Not me!  Took me over a year to sell my 71, must admit one in 45-70 would interest me.

I can honestly say it wasn’t me. At that price it was a good buy in my opinion.

I do know two people who took a run at it, as I did contemplate it, myself.

 

I don’t know who wound up with it, but after it’s all said and done, it’s a nice very rare piece! As been said more than once.Smile

You had your chance, Bert. Now you’ll have to wait for another one to come along. Take your vitamins, it might be awhile!
