Smith and Wesson also shipped weapons to the companies that Bangor Punta owned. Cal Boats, O'Day Corp., Ranger Yachts, Piper Aircraft, Starcraft boats to name a few.

I worked for Piper for 25 years and purchased a few what turned out to be classics during those years. We got a great employee discount!

I worked in tooling and was surrounded by excellent tool makers many who were retired military vets from WW2's "GREATEST GENERATION". I was schooled by one vet on which ones to buy. He said that these will be classics...

I regret I didn't purchase any of the SS autos.

That vet (God rest his soul) was a soothsayer!!!
