Bob, Bill & Stan: I believe what happened was this old girl was relegated to a damp basement after her owner passed away. He obviously cared properly for his gun, but somehow it got wet on both ends. All the old tools, ramrod, brushes, oil bottles, etc. are still in the case which also needs restoration. I'm going to try to get some background info from the auctioneer. Do any of you know who might have the E.M. Reilly records?

Best regards, George
