Rarity of Original Pre-WW1 Service Rifles

[Salt Flat]

Rick, I totally get it---The crisp finger grooves, beautiful color of the stocks and the metal work were done by people that would not compromise on quallity. These rifles are a pleasure to look at and to hold. I have a few rifles like that and I take them out occasionally just to to do so. It makes me think of all the people that worked on these rifles and of all the engineering and processes required to produce them. Fantastic! Salt Flat
