Ben,
Cool find.
Being Mr. Westcott President and Treasurer of the Sharp Rifle Company I can assume he signed a huge amount of check.
Cheers,
Mauro

By the way, for who is interested in historical documents another evidence of the rare Borchardt signature, actually equal to the one of the check, can be found at page 34 of the book "The Borchardt Luger Automatic Pistols" by Sturgess. In the book is available a letter from Borchardt to Westcott dated 1878.
Greetings,
Mauro

But can you CASH the check? :evilgrin:

The previous owner just "cashed" it for $250! :thumbup:
