Mac,

That Suhl 9.3 was indeed a peach. I also wondered about the birds and dog in the engraving and suspected shot barrels might have been in its past.

I got that rifle from Bob Jones in 1994. In 1999 I traded it to a friend of mine who lives in St. Louis. He trades with George Caswell, so I feel sure that's how it got there. I saw it on George's website a year or so ago. At that time I was trying to talk George out of a 28 gauge Piotti, without success.

Makes you wonder where it has landed. Maybe you should have bought it.

Best regards,
Curl

P.S.

We'll forgive you for kicking out the brass in the heat of battle or leaving it behind when it lands in the thorns!
