Well, I had a rush of blood to the head and bought the first double I saw offered for sale near my home at a price I could almost afford. I started from the general principle that any shootable BPE is worth $2K...

I am NOW learning the faults they could have, and not looking forward to identifying which faults in mine I just didn't see, in my wild overenthusiasm. I had already some idea about obsolete cartridges from my Mannlicher 1910, fortunately, so I am not worried about that part.
