Anyone have a similar platform w/ Nelson Nickel Steel?? From where did ole Nelson hail? A quick search yields that there was a double retailed in Mayenne, France wearing Nelson Nickel Steel tubes.

At one time it looks to have been a nice piece. Serbus, Raimey rse

graybeardtmm3 Sidelock Joined: Apr 2018 Posts: 472 Likes: 139 southern New Mexico	i try and use the good eye - rather than the glass one... ball & bead breeches might be easiest explained by a few photos from a 1902 w & c scott/webley screwgrip gun i bought a few weeks back; https://www.gunbroker.com/Item/1085152120 photos # 21 thru 24 show the typical rounded balls and the beaded edges that define them - it this case very handsomely done to my eye(s). best, tom "it's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards." lewis carroll, Alice in Wonderland
