trw999: I'm duly impressed, that was indeed the gun. Forgot about the Bing Crosby part of it and even about how really early it was, 1893....jeese! It was way cool and inspired a special form of lust when handled. That photo just doesn't do it justice (& Mark's photos are generally very good). In many ways, it started me down the 28-gauge road (as I'd never taken them seriously before that time).
