We're actually almost on the same page. (I can't believe I just said that to a lawyer).
I'm not saying I would pay asking for this rifle, (I don't collect Keith's stuff), but there are people who will. Nor is he in league with TR your both correct.
JPK,
I think Elmer was known primarily as a writer, hunter, and lover of guns. He did write a lot about revolvers, but his prowess with double rifles was extraordinary, and also very well known. My father and he were close friends for many years, and he was always fascinated with Elmer's knowledge of double rifles.
Sinner,
I think that you are attributing to the many people who comprise the market information that is unique, or nearly so, to you.
For example, I became aware of Keith's interest and ownership of double rifles perhaps 10yrs ago, but it isn't until now that I am informed, through your post, that he was anything more than a casual user who used one once in Africa and then another rifle once in Alaska.
On the other hand, I've been aware of Keith's enthusiasm for revolvers, especially large bore revolvers, since childhood. Also the same with regard to his alleged shooting feets with revolvers.
