Farrow replica

Some years ago I bought this .32-40. I assume it was made from Rodney Storie castings. The tale was that it was made for Dave Higginbotham by someone who perhaps did some work with him. It is serial #DWR002.  Can anyone identify the builder?

Are they always built and displayed upside down?

I don't know who built it, but I'm guessing old Milton would be proud.  It's a shame that gun was never produced in large numbers as it had much to recommend it.  Forget old Milton... old Froggie would be proud to own it! Roll Eyes

It's nice offhand. Hangs like a swamped muzzleloader. Might bring it to the October match.

Beautiful rifle.
  
Never mind the mule. Just load the wagon.

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

If the target was shot with that Farrow copy, it shoots as good as it looks! Someone did a very nice job!

Target was with a Stevens 44 1/2.  My only one.
