Guns are great. Thank you for not posting the picture of RR shipped in 1957! Especially if you are still caked with cosmoline!!!!!

Hey Rod...don't know if you know this or not, but those '59's also have the distinction of being the last guns that I can remember before this Louisville bunch that were fresh NIB in their split shippers as well! Lynn Laudise got into these in the '80's. There were two or three #59's, two or three #65's and the #101 .357 flattop, all NIB in the split shippers. Lynn was the first to split those open to see what they were...a total of 6 guns. Funny thing about those, I got into a bach of old Shotgun News issues from the 1958 to 1960 time period and in a display ad in one of those issues, those identical 6 guns were listed by a dealer in Florida. When Lynn got them he said they came from the very same source. Never did figure out why one individual didn't decide to grab the #101 .357...would have been a good one to go with his #100. Don't know where 101 is today either.
