I have a Buffalo Bill 30-30 and a Chief Crazy Horse 38-55. I not only shoot them, I hunted with the CCH last year and got a nice 8 point and a fat doe with it.

Steve, 

Very nice! That's what they're meant for.

The pricing on a lot of these guns in the last couple years has gone out of sight whether middle of the road or high condition.  Ive lost interest being priced out of what I think is reasonable.  Now a days it has to be something I really selectively want to consider buying.   
  

Agreed, it's worth more than I'm willing to pay for it.

I have never seen a note added to the ledger like that in the 73's.

As I mentioned, it is very rare to find a ledger entry with an addendum page, but they certainly do exist.

Bert

I do find this interesting, as the addendum Bert is talking about, in the 1885 S S Ledgers make some sense to me, and that Bob stated the he hasn't seen this in the 1873 ledgers, is also an interesting point as these two fine models overlap each other and aren't that far apart in all actuality.

There's an amazing amount of information on some of these letters - I'd love to see the actual ledger pages - fitting all this information on one line?!
  

Steve,
The added information was not actually written into the ledger record.  Instead, a handwritten addendum page was added (inserted) in the ledger records.  I have found at least (100) addendum pages in the Single Shot ledgers alone.
This is an example for Single Shot serial number 58620.  Note that it was changed from a 40/90 St to a 32-40.

Thanks Bert!  I had never heard of such a thing.
  

You are welcome.

I suspected as much, and I assumed that the vast majority of our forum regulars were also unaware... which is why I interjected with my post & pictures.

I will add that those inserted addendum pages are very infrequent.  More than 99% of the entries simply list an "R&R" or "Ret & Rep" entry with a work order number.

Steve,

I'm in agreement with you on that.

Al, and Bob, I'm grateful for the posting and information regarding the letters and their extended information. Al I do remember that one now that you mentioned it.

Bob, 

That's pretty extensive for any letter, but another great reference.

Thanks for sharing the additional information.

Tony
