what a bunch of cackling old farts we are that is a nice rifle.the case is done frone one large croc or alligatof thats prime belly hide.price wise its all in what a man wants to spend this is a job well done ,well presented.so some dont like it,the beauty is as one sees it.would you not want that in your collection if you could.i would not know not being rich and never owning the top percent of goods but the owner of this must be proud a master piece of wood and metal.i dont like picaso's but some people pay millions for that monkey scribble,i favor realism.he has done well to get that piece of history
