Bass Pro in Denver? Geez, I’d have been all over it....I’m on the wrong side of the State........I like my .500AHR, but an original .500 Schüler would be too shit hot to resist.
Steve could have refinished it and made the wood look right.

No British proofs on yours?.....hmmmm.....odd for a Lyon & Lyon (presumably India) rifle.
Interesting that I can find no reference to “Lyon & Lyon” ever trading as the engraved “Lyon & Lyon Ltd. Calcutta” on yours. I wonder? Especially as the bulk of the Schüler large bores seemingly would have gone to East Africa in that era?

.......If you ever get the urge to “kick your .500 Schuler to the curb” let me know. (probably above my pay grade tho...)

BTW: What is it about Colorado and the ultra-bores? A lot of vintage ultra bores live here.......
