Great Michl, i.e. Michl the Great would also be accepted!

Hi Michael!! I'm waiting to hear about the Cavalry rings on the butt stocks. Meantime, the bores of both pistols appear to be in unfired -still in the white - condition!! Only very slight spots of surface rust and patina. Possibly only test fired originally?
One pistol is marked Herzberg Crause, the other is marked Suhl. The numbers on one is 1852, the other 1879. Yet both are in identical condition. Interesting.
