Re: Dreyse Double

There's one in the Australian Arms Auction this coming month.
In keeping with the above thanks - Thanks Lancaster. I would never have been able to appreciate this gun without having seen this thread and learnt about them because of you. Heck, now i'd love to own one some day, but a US trip looms in the future that is far more important
