	That’s a really neat high wall. I’ve read of Singer’s work, did he sign his work or how to identify one of his? Singer was credited for the lever, although it’s commonly known as the Pope lever.

	Off the topic, I see you live in E. Tenn. I am up Rt 81 45 miles near Marion VA. Are you a collector or shooter? Go to Etna Green?

	I live south of Greeneville TN in the foothills. I’m a shooter and have not shot at Etna Green. Cheers Richard

	Probably about an hour's drive, or a bit more. You must be close to that bad influence Ron Snover. If you get up this way give me a call. Exit 45 on I-81. Tom

	After seeing your Singer/Pope Hi-wall I thought I should review your book Hartford Popes. On page 280 is a great summary of the Singer rifle and its characteristics. Always refer to your books and Dutchers book to refresh my memory. My memory certainly needs a lot of refreshing these days!

	Beautiful workmanship.

	If you need more than one shot, you need more practice!

	I like the moose engraving in this Singer hiwall.

	Wow! Outstanding! What's on the other side? Any chance of seeing the rest of the wood?

	I'm not a complete idiot, some of my parts are missing.

	I don't recall ever seeing the entire rifle, just that one picture.
