Well, the news I got wasn't favourable for me.
It turns out my 3 sources are all approximating the same value (& they don't know each other)
I din't think the rifle would draw as much water here as other places, but not so.
Turns out they all valued the rifle around $1,000 - $1,200 Cdn.(Dan got his 1897 - complete with sling, in MINT condition, for $220. Cdn) But that was awhile ago, & the guy was a terminally ill collector / re-enactor. You wouldn't get a deal like that now!!
So - unfortunately..as much as I would like it..I have to bow-out. I haven't got that amount of scratch(Damn tires I bought today cost $1,000 & they wont last anywhere near what that rifle will!!)
Loose wimmen tightened here

That's ok Mate. You gotta have tires (or you can't make it to the range)

That's pretty much inline with what I was going to sell it for. They're probably a touch cheaper in Canada as that's where they originated from.

I'm going to list it for $1000 USD, so if anybody else is interested, let me know. It's probably a touch on the low side, so no negotiations. Buyer pays shipping. And, needs access to an FFL. I'll toss in a gun case from Wallyworld to ship it in.
