This ol' gal has been hiding out in my basement for too long. Time to give her some fresh air and sunshine!

This is the Model C Olympic. Here is a photo of the maker stamp.

It was made with the tang sight as standard on this Model. The receiver was made with 2 side plates riveted onto a 1/2" spacer as can be seen here.

Dang EM, have you got a time machine or something? You keep pulling guns out of the woodwork. Another nice one.

I'll bet Emery never walked passed a trade blanket at a Rendezvous without buying a rifle or two.  I wish I had the foresight to buy just a few of the guns I passed up.

Wow! Yet another ace Emery pulls out of his sleeve! Thanks for sharing! A beautiful example of quality from yesteryear.

Thanks guys. While these guns are not all that rare, they didn't make a bunch of them. The swinging breech models were only made for 5 years, 1920-1925.
