WHAT A BEAUTIFUL GAL!

DOES ANYONE KNOW THE ORIGIN OF THE MODEL 8 PICTURED ON THE HEADER FOR THE HOME PAGE. I WAS CURIOUS IF THIS RIFLE WAS ACTUALLY OWNED BY ONE OF THE READERS OR ORIGINATORS OF THIS SITE?

Ivory Trim

Has anybody out there ever seen a model 8 with a ivory buttplate and ivory diamond inlaid under the forearm takedown screw?
