Ken with KEBCO returns from Africa next week. I'm placing my order for a .500 Verney-Carron when he gets back to the office, probably Wednesday.

For those curious, the following is how the pricing breaks down;

Basic "PH" Model = $11,000
Fully left handed version = $1,400
Cheek rest = $190

Total for fully left handed model = $12,590

I checked with other makers and this is what I was quoted;

Searcy = $18,000
Heym = $17,000
Krieghoff = $12,695 (left stock only)
