    Cool Bob Seccombe's "Tennessee" 1903

    This rifle was acquired by Bob Seccombe from a small gun show in south Florida. It has a Hatcher Hole and a SA 3-18 bbl with the letters TENN stamped into the stock just below the receiver. The serial number is 825055, and looks like a real keeper to me. Let me know when you tire of it, Bob; as I still have some friends at the bank.

    Jim


    Just for you, Bob.

    On Behalf of the Great State of Tennessee..., I will accept this fine rifle back to its home.

    To what address do you wish for me to send a signed copy of my FFL in order to quicky return this important Tennessee weapon to its rightful owners.

    Loy,

    I don't know the answer to your question, but the stamp fonts seem to be the same as the above rifle.

    FWIW,

    Emri
