Thanks Gnome. I enjoyed that look at a historic rifle. More on Girandonis here.....

Definitely interesting. Robert Beeman reckoned he owned the "Lewis and Clarke" rifle, but I don't know if it was proven.

It wouldn't surprise me if our friend Lewis has seen that one in the flesh........ he definitely knew Robert.
