What a great all time wish list! Now one just needs to win a lottery or two to bring these wishes to fruition.

Better win at least two lotteries, there is probably over $125K in that first photo alone. Do they list serial numbers? I would like to know the numbers of that 03/04 Navy and the Cartridge Counter.

Really Impressive!!
Thank you Pete.
Ciao

Sorry, Ron...no write ups or serial numbers yet on their web site...it should appear in a week or two...

Hi Ron,
Serial number of the cartridge counter is 22449.

Serial number of the 04 navy is 36.

The Cartidge Counter was sold at auction in 1999 by Little John's auction service. I believe it went for either $26,000 or $28,000 plus a 10% buyers premium. John Gangel said that this was the first pistol he ever sold back in 1968. I was fortunate enough to hold and examine it. It's not everyday one of these comes along.

At the time I thought the price was a little high. It will be interesting to see how high it goes this time.
