Well, I didn't keep this one very long. I sold it, along with my 1916 Red-9 Broomhandle at a local gunshow up here recently, ostensibly to fund the purchase of a nicer Red-9 Broomhandle that I was leading an auction on...I bet you can guess what happened next...the really nice broomhandle went RIGHT THROUGH THE STINKING ROOF and way out of my price range.
So now, I am short a 1916 DWM and a Red-9 C96. Once again, I have some large holes to fill in the collection.
To make matters worse, do to a tragic return of the worst symptoms of my chronic liberalophobia, I next promptly went out and spent most of the money from these two sales on modern "Assault" weapons in a paranoid frenzy of BAN anticipation resulting from the outcome of the latest presidential elections.
I did make a little money on both sales, which doesn't hurt, and I still think I sold the C96 too cheap, but when you get a good deal, you can pass on a good deal, and I originally got a pretty good deal on it.
Keep your eyes open for me, will ya?
