SIEVERT NIELSEN FROM ZANE GREY



Gunwolf

Thank you. A very interesting and informative writing.

My mother used to love too read Zane Grey.

This rifle reminds me of one I saw in an auction catalog 15-20 years ago. Zane Grey was on a hunting trip with Charlie Russell when Charlie picked up Zane's new Model 95 and scratched a moose onto the receiver. I wasn't really engraving, but it was good enough to add a priceless detail to the rifle. I've often thought it would be hard to come up with a more iconic pair of men unless TR could be worked in.

Precise opposite when I hunted with president of provincial wildlife federation---actually a hunting and fishing group---who lit his pipe from a match scratched on his shotgun's checkering, and shot a duck coming home underway in outboard-powered boat, a regulated no-no.

Brings back many memories of his novels and hunting stories.

Time to check my book cases to see which books I still have.
