Early 20-shot #757 was printed on first edition of "Gun Collector's Digest", along with System Mauser #24. In a later edition of the digest, Joe said that he had a restored 20-shot. If I look back, he referred to #757. Another 20-shot with stock was a late model, I guess he acquired it in 1990s in post-digest era, because he never mentioned it in the digest.

I probably cannot chase 20-shot, or System Mauser at this time, those guns are 1st tier gun, I guess they will be very expensive. If one day, I can get a Turkish, or Flatside Bolo (2nd tier variations), in original 70-80% shape, I will be very satisfied.
