In the Rock Island auction alongside the officers rifle was an 1877 carbine that could only be described as NEW item 275. They estimated 20-30 K as the sale price. I thought no way would that happen. Well 23.500.00 later yes it did.

In the words of the China Airlines pilot who crashed in Oakland a few years ago . . . . . Ho Li Fuk!
In case you forgot, his fellow flight officers were named Sum Ting Wong, Wi tu Lo, and Ding Bang Ow.

Remember the reporters who rushed that to the air lost their jobs. I do agree two guys wanted that carbine BAD!

Yes, I do, and they should have, but it's STILL funny.
