Thanks guys for your comments, I was lucky.
It was discovered 3 weeks ago with some others FJ pieces.

I will get more infos about the discovery soon…

[mathluft]

I'm speechless.
but because it isn't mint , you will have to sell it

No, I just will need to find some nice worn pieces to build a futur display

[John Hodgin]

Congratulations Mathieu! Will be hard to top that addition! Were any magazines with it? Very much looking forward to seeing some details and hearing more about it! Kudos!

Hi Roger,

George never had a splinter bando. In fact, I never heard of one in there US. That doesn't mean there isn't one as there are many serious weapon's collectors who keep to themselves.

I think this photo is from 'Daniel' Peterson and is in his book.
