Hmmm, my old clunker doesn't shine quite so nice as many of the nice examples pictured in this thread, in fact, it's rather weary and weathered. However, it does have a nice history and was passed directly to me from the original owner. Also, it has the distinction of being a Pre-war style Magnum that may have been actually put together during the war. It was certainly shipped after the U.S. entry into the war. A more complete story on it may be found, for those who have not read it yet, under the thread:
Penultimate Pre Postwar Magnum is in Mexico!
I am certainly happy to have it. About the only way I could have afforded to have something like this was if it was given to me (which it was)...but having it keeps me from needing to sell my soul to get one.
