Must cost a bit more than $1,300. . Curious about the underlever. Is this a Jones underlever - double bite? His patent lapsed 19 Sep 1862 so there may be a PUN on the gun somewhere. Or is it the Beringer style single bite under-the-guard lever with a rising bite on the action flats? Baluch are not Brahui, Brahui are Baluch
