writing a essay on the one of one thousand rifles a couple of months ago i came across a record of the 1873 one of one thousand known years of production and serial numbers can any one help.
I believe that Doc Lewis published that information in his book on the One of One Thousand rifles.

Jim Gordon’s book also has a list of the ledger entries for all the 1 of 1000’s.

I simply cannot believe the asking prices on that book !!
Ed Lewis was once a “neighbor” of mine, and he gave me a signed copy of his book at the Cody show shortly after it was published… does that mean I could sell it for $2,700+ ???

Bert and others, I have books (maybe too many!) that I have obtained over the years for my reading pleasure and reference (WHEN I can remember which one had the topic in it!). I can only hope they may be sold at something close to their current market prices when the time comes! They often are long out of print now, and when they do come up for sale some truly amazing prices are put on them. Yet, rarely do auction houses touch them as it takes too much effort for relatively little return. Rare book dealers love them apparently, but how long do they have to hold one before it sells for a high price? Tim
What do you need exactly?

I am apparently sitting on a true GOLD mine! Like you, I bought most of my reference books many years ago (when they were still quite inexpensive). I suppose that I need to find couple of those “rare book” dealers to put on my list of “who to contact” if fecal matter ever hits the rotating oscillator.

Technically, making a copy of the subject book would be a Copyright violation unless we can get permission from Ed.
