Yessir, Donnie just laughed when asked about a "value" and from what he related to us, and from what my wife recalls hearing many years ago, the serial number #1 asnd #2 guns were never "fitted" ( put together) and are just barreled recievers, and are owned by the "board" ( the company) so maybe some 'bean counter is fixing to "finish" them off and possibly aucton them?? and I have the feeling the firing pin would be and is a definite "issue" ( problem) wonder just what configuration it would end up coming out as....they updated and redid them them pretty quickly back in 1950............very interesting..............
