Bulldog:

Well done! I'll bet you're excited. I haven't seen a rifle that excited me the way that one did in years. I'm a boxlock guy (I wouldn't cross the room to look at a sidelock) and the Best Webley Screw-Grips are among the best boxlock DRs that have ever been made. And that one is one of the most unusual I've seen. It's the only one with the extended top strap that I can remember, and the trefoil fences are extremely rare. If I didn't already have a .400 that I won't part with, that rifle would never have made the web.

Now look, when J. J. calls with his evaluation, listen to what he says. If he finds a few minor problems, those can be taken care of on George's dime. If he finds something major, you need to be realistic about it. You've bought nothing in a poke here. Once you get it, if for some reason you don't like it, or just get cold feet, send it back. George won't mind. He can sell it in a heartbeat.

Keep us posted on what happens.
