Thanks for the additional updates and clarifications. Just as an aside, I did not buy this piece for any appreciation potential. In fact, I still have every gun I have purchased. I kind of become attached to them, so this piece is definitely off the market. I will give it to one of my kids who is like I am, so with this gun being 54 years old now, I would venture to guess that it will be another 54 years at least before it comes back on the market.
