My five U.S. Model 1868’s coming up for sale soon

That other early rifle must’ve been #133.

It was, I just didn't look it up.

As you know, I was shown #86, by the then owner, noted firearms writer Graham Burnside, in 1992. He also had another one at the time, which he offered to me for $1,000.

But, #86, being a nicer specimen, was his keeper. You might want to note that provenance in your sales pitch.

I think that information is priceless Dick. Thank you!
