That would not surprise me either Bushog. Ben mentioned building a number of those guns when he was working at Hamilton's before the move back to Montana.

I love the #13. It was part of the inspiration for my .500JRH. The octagon barrel and front sight in particular. I seem to recall that Seyfried's engraving is more akin to English rose & scroll, no doubt due to his penchant for fine British guns. While mine is American scroll in the style of Cuno Helfricht. The Keith #5 inspired the all carbona blue finish.

I believe John Linebaugh worked on the action too. The Damascus was done where I took blacksmithing They had it it in their book of pictures and I mentioned the serial number. They were wondering how I knew.

Here's No. 2. It's my "carry" Best Quality BCA revolver. It graces the cover of Handloader #140 which includes a nice write-up saying it was the most remembered item at the 1989 NRA Convention. I did a mock-up reproduction of the cover for my avitar for fun. It's a twin to Mike's gun and the sme as No. 9 minus the engraving.

And to think I sold my Anniv gun for $400.... it could have been the base for something like this. Wow. [face-slap]

There are some folks on this forum who have real taste. Thanx for sharing, bushog that #2 is just about perfect.
