Can't anybody just look at it and say, "that's neat--you don't see ones like that every day==someone must have put a lot of work into it to get it that way."

I thought I did, but it's the serious shorthand version of hitting the "thanks" button. Didn't have much to add otherwise.

Said the same the other day to the woman with the sported 1889 Belgian rifle which she inherited from her father. Very few 1889s of any sort in these parts. If the workmanship is good, then the rifle has to be considered relative to when the modifications were done. You do that sort of thing now? Whole 'nuther sentiment!
