Peabody Martini What Cheer long range rifle

Print Post  
I recently obtained a Peabody Martini What Cheer long range rifle. It is a fancy fully engraved rifle in near new condition. It has two stags being chased by hounds on the left side and a tigers head on the right. Both scenes are surrounded by a scroll engraving. The receiver bridge has What Cheer engraved on it, and there is scroll engraving on the flats of the barrel. This rifle has 100% dark case colors on the action and 100% blue on the barrel, butt plate and sight bases.

Now for my problem. The rear sight staff and front sight globe are missing. The rifle has both tang and heel sight bases numbered to the gun, as well as the front sight base. This gun is one number off of the What Cheer long range pictured on the page 146 of Grant's book, "More Single Shot Rifles". I would like to hear from anyone who collects these fine rifles.
