I picked this up over the weekend at the Lakeland, Fl. gun show. A friend was selling it , on consignment , for the family of a recently deceased collector. It's the first one I've ever seen up close and personal. The asking price wasn't cheap but was much less than one would pay for one from one of the top shelf dealers so it came home with me. Do we know what type of knot would have been used with this? Here are some pics.
