Pawn shop woes

Roadkill · 06-23-2002, 03:55 PM

Its not just the pawnshops, I just got back from visiting a flea market in the N. Ala hills, my wife stayed real close to me cause she was scared, (it was Deliverance with a Tijuana flavor, Junior Samples crossed with Pancho Villa, four wheel drive monster trucks with chickens & goats and confederate bumper stickers),anyway, I found the guns of course, there on the table amongst the chicken feathers and other junk is a .45 holster with a gun in it. I could tell by the butt it was an old high power, I eased up to an ancient gentleman and asked if I could look at the gun. Sure, he handed it to me, of course the other three bubbas standing around all stopped to watch, it was a very nice WA BHP, all matching, probably about 95% +, orig grips & mag, holster dtd 1944, I took out the mag, cleared the gun, locked the slide back (got a couple of ahhs with that), asked how much, ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS and he didn't stutter. I thanked him and left. Also found a 1902 Colt .32 asking price was $250 but the guy selling it looked like he just got out of the pen last week, still wearing the haircut & prison shoes. So its not just in your backyard
