First breach fired rolling block found ?

[Dick Hosmer]

Dear RB66 - with all respect, I have no idea who your un-named friend may be - but, a word to the wise - I can tell you (because they won't) that on the basis of 45 years of collecting, Ed Hull and Gene Myszkowszi know this subject inside and out! As the old saying goes, they have forgotten more than most of us will ever know. When Ed politely infers that your rifle (as fabulous as it is) is probably not the "first one made" it would be wise to give significant weight to his statement. Just my unsolicited $.02 - no offense intended.

Hello Gene,
I examined Andre's Remington brass tag #66 after he shipped it to me last year to examine and photograph..But what I would now love to find out is where brass tag #67 on the Chamber's inventory is?.... Simply because it appears dimensionally to be the identical rifle... But with a center fire breech block.
