The antique LRH arrives. It looks great, matches GB description: all matching. The bore is good as well.
Doug -- As you can see, this is not pristine. It's a taste. For some reason, postwar guns have many mint instances, but it's not easy to see a pre-1899 one in pristine shape.... ~20 years difference in age..... considering the age of these guns, 20 years delta is not big. So why postwar variations have so many nice samples....
I would bet some people realized C96 could be a collectible in 1920s, so they reserved their newly acquired postwar guns.
