years ago I get it returned to me in deplorable shape but it wasn't worth squat. Rather than junk it, since the barrel was sound, I just decided to build off it, so there you have it. How better to continue it's service in 2SW living history than as a deringer? So that's what it is.

You have a gorgeous rifle now. I like thumb pieces and have one on a rifle engraved with my initials. You went and built yourself a beautiful custom rifle.
