As things seem to happen I was working a week-on week-off schedule at the time. The auction was on my week off so my friends who all wanted stuff bought my plane ticket to MA......and back ;-).
When I got back home I started to do a lot more research on Mr. Amber and what happened to his estate. Long story short I spent a lot of time in the next two or so years at it until I was sure where the scope was.
Found where I thought it was and then I made a very bad error in judgement, lost the scope where it was not recoverable. Put it down as a learning experience which I guess I learned nothing from because a few years later I did the very same thing.
That would have been around 1989-90 or at least in that time period. I've keep an eye on it in my peripheral vision but did nothing about it.
Last winter I had a visitor who would be visiting, this spring, where I thought the scope might be. I sent him pictures of the scope and a few weeks ago it was confirmed, the scope was still there.
Negotiations were then started to move the scope back with the underhammer rifle.
More to follow.
