I stole this from 24 Hour Campfire because I can'i imagine a more classic rifle- nor one with a more coloruful history. Hope everyone enjoys this as much as I have.

Thanks for a real treat, the rifle and the owner! IMO the 9.3x62 is one of the 2 classic std-length Mauser calibers, along with the 7x57/275 Rigby. And please don't tell My Bride, but Osa Johnson is still my favorite pinup girl!
Regards, Joe

It must be nice to have "pocket change" to get something like this. Funny, from the pic he doesn't look like a billionaire. He must own several oil fields around Houston.

Not that it matters but the rifle sold for what I thought was a very reasonable price. When my friend told me he was selling the rifle I even considered it myself. If it had been a American custom I might have tried for it. Yet another friend has her G&H.

Last time I looked at .275 Rigby? or 7x57? English-finished bolt gun once owned by W.D.M. Bell it was listed at over $27,000. I would not consider that small amount of money.

I have no idea what the selling price was on the rifle but the asking price was less than 1/3 of the Bell rifle.
