I just bought a 12 G from a saddle maker for 200 buck and it sew's like brand new. He said it had sit in the same spot with the same canvas cover over it unused for 20 years. It really stitches nice. If it is still for sale I might be interested. Even thou I live in Idaho I have family in western and eastern Nebraska. I could use a trip back there. Have not been back there in 5 yrs. Scott
