I found a "dandy" 577 with a remarkable "story" and history. I will be telling all next week when it arrives.
Hello All,
Well, my 577 arrived and I wish to share my excitement about this recently acquired double rifle.
While I was searching high and low for a 577 BPE to add to my collection, I ran across a "story" from early 2001 about a rifle that had all the things that everyone wants in a fine double rifle. I call them the "Lucky Seven".
First, a very fine World renown Maker.
Second, a document from the World renown Maker that substantiates the original specifications.
Third, a Famous Owner.
Forth, a document from the World renown Maker that it was shipped directly to the Famous Owner.
Fifth, a documented history of use by the Famous Owner.
Sixth, a book written by the Famous Owner giving an account of the rifle's use.
Seventh, a picture in the book showing the Famous Owner holding the Double rifle.
The rifle I found is a John Dickson double rifle in 577 caliber.
