	I picked up this cabinet card recently. The back is stamped, " Val Liechner, 725 Michigan St., Buffalo, N.Y." There is too much glare on the medals to identify the shooter ... but still a cool photo.

	Great photo! I'm going to stick my neck out and guess based on the double-set triggers and the apparent color case pattern that he's the proud owner of an early Model 45 or possibly a 108. Also, does the barrel have an unusually sharp taper? Bill Lawrence

But the brl. does seem to have rather a rapid taper.

	My guess because of the rapid taper is that it's an English model. 40 Rod

	Looks much like a 44 I once owned, save possibly for the maybe more tapered barrel.
