Chas, just kidding around. I expect this set to go for significantly over a thousand dollars by the end, since it is numbered and WA stamped all over. I know the earlier WWII kits command the highest prices. The one-penny starting price with no reserve, I'm sure, reflects the seller's confidence that he will wind up getting top dollar. And the condition of this one looks pristine.

Outta my league at this point... But I think I could still afford a SE-08/2 version--that's the kit with the best-looking toggle knobs, the latest produced, and, I expect, the most economical of these .22lr conversion kits.

D.P.

BTW, 5 hrs after start, it's up to $231, after two bids!
