Thanks! It's an early flea market treasure that I must have despaired of when I started hearing about celluloid.

It's a bit early in the morning for me to count parallel lines.

It's a beauty, though- thanks

I found it in my "odd and large" tin, though the only thing odd about it is the association of 7mm Mauser with fishing.

That's frowned upon 'round these parts.

Very nice Queen you have there James.

Thanks guys.
I like sunken joints, saw-cut bone, firm smooth pull, half-stops and sharp stainless.
Together they make it a fantastic old friend!

Here's a promising draft choice who just got promoted to the big leagues for the first time (for me). It's got everything you're looking for in a rookie to make the team. It's got good bloodlines (GEC), excellent f&f and w&t, one of my favorite covers in stag, sizewise it will make for a good carry and it looks great.

This old friend has been with me since I bought it in the mid 70's.
It even spent time 8 feet under water during hurricane Sandy.
