If we could find some advertisements from the back of gun magazines from pre-68 GCA, we could see that back then you could buy 1911s for $25 (if I remember correctly) in NRA very good condition delivered to your door by mail.

I was too young to know I could do that back then.

I tried searching for images of such ads on the internet but could not find any!
