Let me pause here and say this:I am a member of many collector forums in other areas of collecting (bicycles, baseball cards, etc). As a brand new member, I have NEVER been treated with this amount of straight-forward knowledge and respect. I want everyone who has posted in this thread to know that it is very refreshing to be received so politely.
I was nervous about joining and posting because I have no knowledge of guns (neither does my dad). All of you have turned this into a very exciting and rewarding experience for me...and I thank you for that.BACK TO THE TOPIC:
According to my dad, he has never seen the gun in anything but the simple 'gun bag' shown in the pictures of my initial post. Is the bag itself related to the gun? I'm guessing not. It's old and worn, but probably just some bag?
STANDING BREACH: I will post a picture of it tonight (I'm at work again now). However, I did not notice any markings on it yesterday.
SIMPLIFIED LANGUAGE: More thanks go out to all of you who have taken the time to 'dumb down' the explanations for me. It helps me learn and get you people the pictures you want to see.
I have learned more about guns in the past 2.5 days than I have in the previous 44 years of my life.
