Julia March has another 20CH, but it has too many issues even on a few photos.

RIAC April has a Flatside 20CH with matching stock, could be interesting. Looks like some surface rust has been lightly sanded off in the past. From preview photo, it's hard to tell how serious the damage was. Might be OK.

What are the issues with the 20 shot in the March auction Alvin? I read about the stock not matching and having a piece missing. I thought that I read that the grips are not matching either. The milled frame is more desirable to me although I thought the flat side 20 shot is less common; if the RIAC example is one of that series of 90 (?) identified that supposedly went to South America it's number being 91 just puts it outside that series. It also seemed to me that overall the RIAC example would be more desirable in part because I believe the stock matches and seems mostly intact.

I'd love to have a 20 shot before I kick the bucket but I doubt I'll have a lot of chances at one...
