Arizona Guy, you have a great gun and an interesting box. You were willing to pay the price you did to get it, and that's the way it ought to be.

In the last couple of years I have "overpaid" for a lot of pieces that I simply wanted to own, and I am happy that I have them. I figure that I am not buying the item, but the pleasure of association with it. If I should later sell one at a loss, the delta I book on the in-and-out prices is the cost of that enjoyment. Over the period of ownership that will probably work out to a few bucks a month, or less than the price of movie or a cheap seat at a concert. The pleasure of having owned the gun will last a lot longer than the memory of any movie.

You did just fine. But you do owe us more photos and a range report when circumstances permit.
