The OP went and advertised it for sale as something to do with Osa Johnson anyway, even though there is no evidence at all for his claim. Just a shyster selling something.

Well, that's interesting.

I haven't been on here in years and, on a whim, just decided to log in and take a look around the forums. I stumbled across this thread. Of course, the thread's topic title got my attention as I'm the owner of Osa's 9.3x62 Mauser. I'd forgotten that I had left a post in this thread way back in 2012 (see above).

I now see that John has recently (in Feb 2022) bumped up the old thread about Osa's rifle. A little "blast from the past" for me to see it again.

If anyone is curious, I still own Osa's rifle. For the past several years, it's been in climate controlled storage at a local gun shop for safekeeping. And, no, I never have fired it even after all these years.

To John:
I hope all is well with you. I'm hanging in there. I retired in 2018. I'm just being a lazy bum and enjoying retirement. I never returned to Africa after my last trip in 2005. I don't plan on going again; getting too old and lazy.

Cheers! Bob F.
