For those who were on the list for the new Merwin Hulberts

I wonder how much less they would have been than having this original. If it checks out mechanically, I think I'd rather have this and shoot blackpowder loads through it than have one of the new ones. Given how much a custom costs these days, these shooter-grade classics are looking more and more reasonable in price.

Yes, they were. I had a very high condition one in an estate of antiques I helped a family move some time back. I really wanted it, but it was too expensive for me to keep. I think it was in .44 Merwin Hulbert, so ammo would have been a bit more of a problem than the one in the auction.

I really wish the new company would be able to get guns produced. I would do my best to buy at least one. I like MHs second only to Schofields!
