Glad to see these still sell, I thought I might be stuck with a bunch of them.

I think the market might be a bit narrower on these, but the historical significance of this type of weapon can't be overstated IMO. I can't imagine they wouldn't find buyers.

Still have it? Prices have risen just slightly since '49!

You got ripped-off! The factory retail price then was only $37.50!!

 

[rebel46]

Fred, you are right. I still have the receipt where I bought the gun. It was $37.50 plus 4% tax for a total of $39.00. No, I sold the gun years ago. What would the receipt be worth now? I could probably sell it.
