We had our annual OAC two day collector gun show this weekend. I did a display of Ballard rifles barreled and built in George C. Schoyen's Denver Colo. shop in the late 1800's. Also some Schoyen and Ballard gun tools.
A .32-40 with extra heavy 4.5 weight barrel.
A .38-55 With half octagon barrel on top, and a .33-47 half octagon bottom. Both 32" barrels, but top is a false muzzle Schoyen barrel.
And the various tools.
Sitting at my table Sat. morning when a fella approached me and showed me this bullet lube pump he wanted me to have. Immediately recognized it as an H.M. Pope bullet lube pump, which he already knew it was. He offered me a price that was extremely reasonable, and wanted it to go to a collector who owned Pope rifle(s), so I was excited to get it. Very few were ever made by Harry Pope, so a great old tool to own for single shot collectors, or antique tool collectors.
