Strange as it may seem, we sold a fair number of those Model 50s in that time period. They are attractive and neat looking. Mounting a scope is a problem, but some folks just wanted a short, light deer rifle for woods use.
There was a Model 1952 and then a Model 1956, also, with a swept back bolt handle.
They all held value well; a Model 50 in 100% will bring well over $800 with the 6.5 x 54 carbine running almost $1000. I think it's that bolt handle. It's impractical as hell, but it looks sooo neat!
