Dear All - explain please - 1918, new in box, American Historical Foundation. Simple British person does not understand the combination of new and 1918 in one sentence. With the aid of four other people and a lot of little stones [there's deep pun coming in here if you are a Latin speaker, BTW], I have calculated that MY 1918 P.08 is 83 years old. Does the word new mean something else in USA?

I saw this thing in a magazine at a friend of a friends home last year. It was an old Soldier of Fortune magazine I think. Anyway, I'll have to see if I can get a hold of it again and check out the original price just for laughs. Will scan it and post it if anyone cares.
