Cpt Curl,

Having seen pictures of your other rifles, I am sure this would make a superb addition to your collection.

And Marcel Thys has retired closing his business down except for repairs to guns made by him during his illustrious career - wouldn't you have something as unique as this rifle in your collection?

Best wishes and I hope that you get it somehow. A collection as nice as yours would be the best place for this incredibly beautiful rifle. Cheers!
