Where has that gun been hiding from moisture and handling for the last 104 years? It's condition is unbelievably nice...

As nice as your photos are, I would have a professional photographer take a complete photo essay of it and store this gun in a safe place. Handle it only with cotton gloves and NEVER shoot it... It belongs in a museum or bank vault.

What a GREAT find. Mind telling us where you sourced this gem? An estate sale? An Auction? Won it in a card game? All I can say is WOW!! Thanks for sharing it with us.
