I've seen two in my life, and fired one. They are a rare breed to find. I know of one that may be coming up for sale when the owner passes, but I doubt I'll have the asking price for it. The guy has a collection that makes mine look like a hunting gun cabinet collection. Every one of his firearms are pristine and museum quality...he's even loaned a couple to the NRA museum for their display. Each one has a tag with the pertinent information on them, and he keeps them updated with current value, just in case he dies...so his kin can sell the collection and get maximum dollar for each.

There's really no way I'll be able to get his...but a man can dream. Knowing that I've seen two in my life, and fired one, makes me very happy.
