Hello all,
I thought I would share my latest gun store find. Illinois Central Railroad 12Ga, 1889 Remington. (pictures attached)
The stock is marked "ICCR No. 13".
I still have a little research to do on this one. It came into my local shop through an older gentleman who's grandfather worked for the railroad. I will probably see if I can find any more "providence" on the thing, but I have been dealing with this shop for 20+ years and they they new the guy who brought it in.
On the plus side, I had an old Colt Woodsman that only shot "22 Standard Velocity" sitting in the safe for the last 15 years and in only average condition, doing nothing, so I made an even swap.
All in all, I am happy with the trade. :-)
If anyone wants me to take any detailed pictures of anything out of curiosity, let me know.
Jacob
