I enjoy having it. Even the case is in an impecable condition. ... and there still is lubrication product inside the tin and original bullits inside the compartment. Fernando |

Absolutely breathtaking Fernando!!!
It is truly amazing to see the incredible forthcoming interest in antique firearms discussion, and the outstanding pieces such as this posted here. It seems that in we have in sense, 'awakened a sleeping giant'!!! This really is terrific, and its wonderful to open new areas of learning (for me at least) as we incorporate the study of antique arms and armour in all fields. While my focus personally has long been as noted, on edged weapons, it is nearly impossible to not have been drawn from time to time to beautiful and historic firearms such as those posted here as we have begun this forum. Thank you for sharing this beauty Fernando! All the best, Jim |

Wow Fernando,
I thought it was just our friends on the other side of the 'pond' that were 'gun crazy' You're amassing quite an arsenal .....you expecting trouble ? Very nice piece and looks in amazingly good condition.....with original bullets . Would such old bullets be 'stable' ? I am also curious about the 'gun laws' in Europe ? Are there special exemptions for older firearms ? Kind Regards David |
