Thought y'all would appreciate this piece of history. This is what I call an EARLY Model 8! Tom Ramsey was kind enough to share these photographs with us, but we do not know who currently owns the rifle. Pretty cool huh?

Very cool.
Though defensive violence will always be “a sad necessity” in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men. - St. Augustine
Re: Model 8 #7!!!
Hey there Cameron, that's definitely the earliest m-8 i've ever seen. Very sweet deal indeed.
Thanks for posting the pics,

How I'd love to own a "single-digit" serial number 8 or 81! A collector's dream.

I have no way of knowing definitively, but my gut tells me this checkering may be a factory job...
