Thanks Daryl.

I found this rifle on both Guns International and with Morphy because it was m retailed by the same firm as the boxlock double in 9.3x72r I posted about here. Weisgerber in St Wendel. http://forums.nitroexpress.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=374531&an=0&page=0#Post374531

The GI listing had beautiful pictures, but the price seemed high. When it was listed in Morphy's auction, I started watching the lot (and a lot of other nice German double rifles). The night before the auction, I entered what I thought was a low ball bid of $6000 through Morphy's site. As far as I can tell, I won the rifle with that, although I would be more confident about that if the interface at Morphy's was less confusing (no where does it say you won, just that you were the high bidder and bidding has stopped. And I don't have an invoice yet.)

I'll share more. It's a beautiful rifle in a great cartridge.
