Hauck Rifle,
Sir,
There are plenty of old Dummies and Old Pharts around here myself included, I'm one of the original grumpy old men.
The three Centuries are:- The engraving style at least 17th.C possibly earlier, The basic falling block breech loading rifle design the mid. 19th.C and of course the (Modern Art)stock design from the mid 20th.C.
I did not mean any offence with my comments, and I hope none were take. I try to be as honest as I can, but personal opinions are not always shared by everyone. I wish you luck in your search for a buyer and I hope you get a satisfactory price.
Regards,
Harry Eales
