Hesitated for 20 seconds then said I'll take it. Finish is worn but it is a beaut!

Oh Yeah! I was hoping you were going to post better pic of it! The grips look original too....:dance:
What a Beaut! I think this will end up being the snag of the year here on the ole ODT.

Good on you for hitting the "I'll Take It" button so quickly without trying to negotiate that fine gentleman down on an excellent price.
He gets the deal he desired, and the knowledge that a new curator will look after this fine old war horse until the time comes to pass it along.
Everybody wins in this deal as far as I'm concerned. :thumb:

Edit to add: That "Inspected by Major Gilbert S. Stewart" stamp makes me grin!
 
If you can do any research and pass along any history you find we would appreciate it. You should be able to find when it was made, when it was issued and perhaps to whom. Man that would be fun to run.

Nice snag, good luck.
