Congrat's Ron Smith... Don't feel bad about the condition... it looks WAY better than my only Artillery... (see the Old Owner's Corner in the folder under my name...)

...and it is a WHOLE LOT BETTER than Many of the other 2000 members of this forum who don't have one...

I will bet they are rightly envious...

enjoy it and then leave it to you heirs in working condition... I feel privileged to own mine, and you are too!

BTW, I paid $100.00 for mine in 1974 INCLUDING a Haenel Schmeisser extruded police magazine (not matching of course but it is one of the best magazines ever made)... for another $25.00 I could have owned the stock, but this young soldier (at the time) didn't have the money...
