I want to hang onto my 1868 number 127, but not being any kind of a scholarly collector, I don't need rifle number 6 too.
Its many and varied unique features should be documented. I'd like to see either you or Al get it Dick. In the mean time, it isn't going anywhere. Come by for a visit Dick if you're out driving around this way looking for a good place to watch the big Solar Eclipse from that's moving through here sometime this year.
My wife and I are going to thankfully not have to drive far at all to reach a spot that'll experience Total whatever they call it. Probably no more than 2 hours away or less.
