It's probably the finish too. I've owned probably more than 100 different Bussekin. While I would love a couple more, I can't see paying the prices for most of them--400+ for a BWM, or even a hundred or two for some other blade at this point. Oldest is just a couple years out from college, with three others close behind. Probably be paring back the guns too for just that reason, although still trying to put rifles together for each kid. That, and I've only got two hands grin
