Hey guys, thanks for all the input. I went and negotiated some more and put it on layaway for $950. I love the pre-1913 guns because they seem to be a little more solid than the featherweights. Although I love them too. But this gun was much more beat up than it appeared in the pictures and will need to have the barrels reblued and likely have to have the wooden stock head bedded to deal with the crack on the right side, which we have all seen many times.
