[Interesting, Norm... I don't recall any of its previous appearances, but my time actually playing the game is limited to the last several years. Do you have any recollection of previous sellers/asking prices/circumstances that pertain to it? I've found it at shooter price and am committed to it. It is what it is and even in its sorta butchered, non-collectable status< i expect to enjoy it. If the mag that accompanies it is real, I could offset the already relatively low price a little more by selling. But prob. not.[/QUOTE]
Hi David, 1917 Navy #227 first appeared on Gunbroker in May 2011, at which time it was discussed on Jan Still's forum (see link). More recently it was listed on Gun Auction in September of this year. If you bought it for $860.00 shipped you did very well indeed.
Regards, Norm
