It now seems that same auction company is selling a 35M this Saturday... I'd bet out of the same collection. Looks like this is going to be a VERY spendy month (there's also a pretty nice French M1914 Remington Rolling Block and a Burgess folding riot gun.... but I think I have to limit myself to the Mannlicher!). This time when I told Sarah, she laughed and offered to throw in a few hundred dollars and call it my Christmas present. I am a lucky, lucky man.
