RIA LOT #1121 DICKERT RIFLE ****SOLD!

For those who do not have Shumway's RCA Vol I, two partial views of this rifle, pre-restoration, a least to the lock and trigger, appear on page 86 of Whicker's Arms Makers of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania first published in 1991.

What was the estimate? I didn't bid on that one - not enough original rifle for me. If 19K includes the 20% premium thats actually a pretty good buy for these times. So far I have won nada but tomorrow are 2 pretty good bids to win - we will see.
