I call myself a collector as it sounds better than hoarder

I saw that one but I didn’t like the base and how the ivory was staked in there.

I had a 73 with an ivory Rocky Mountain front sight.  It was thinner and was just slipped into a regular sight.  No additional punch marks. I sold it at an auction along with 5 other guns to buy the 73 with the scope.  Randy Saba bought it.  But that was many years ago.   The sight did not letter.
