A Little story to ruin your day.
An elderly friend of mine who is in his mid 80's has been collection fire arms since the late 1940's.
Well the story he told me is that the NRA in the early 60's had some kinda sale going on to purchase WW2 fire arms, and he bought for $12.50 a 45ACP still wraped up in the oil paper. What he recieve was a nice Remington Rand 45ACP.
The heart breaker is he took an electro pencil and engraved his name and telephone number on the slide. I have seen and shot this gun, it shots like a dream but hat engraving is sooooooooooooo fugly. OUCH !
