The article is actually good. It does not contain new information, but it did well on introducing the gun to general C&R fans. Not very comfortable on seeing the article mixing pre-WWII production with post-1980 stuffs, but that style does cover a broader domain.

He mentioned the $3000 bolo was a super nice one from South Africa in unfired condition (or, fired very little). It was probably not acquired from Sarco. Those mint 1930 or Bolo printed on the cover of "Modern Gun Values" of mid 1980 were listed around $1000 (gun only). Probably he did not see one in LGS.... in that era, he had to physically run around to find something.
