Hi Planner
I'm sorry. I missed your post.
I find this extremely fascinating indeed !! Thanks so much for scanning it for me !! I agree with your calculations re affordability.
I'm amazed to see Terms - 30Days. To think somebody in the city did that is amazing. You wont see that anywhere today thats for sure.
I wonder about the stamp duty ?
I notice your shotgun has side clips as does mine.
Some of the other script is very difficult to read however.
I will be in the city this week and I'll have a look for the site - If its now Melbourne Central as you say then all is lost.
I think you are extremely lucky to have this record of a time past, I wish I had this to go with my gun thats for sure.
I understand the trouble you have gone to and I'm very grateful. This sort of stuff to me is as valuable as the gun itself in many ways.
