I was going to tell the story about this gun, but decided that it was easier to post the factory letter here. That makes it self-explanatory!



The bottom of the picture has the description cut from the auction catalog. The letter is dated 1999, which was probably the year of the auction. I won the auction, and I think I was ultimately bidding against Gary Garbrecht, which is why it sold for a whole lot more than the estimate! I think it was a Gregg Martin auction in San Francisco.

I remember Roy commenting, at the time, that this gun was evidence about how slow the first sale of the post-WW2 were. The sales department had the gun for a whole year, before an order finally came in. Apparently they did not have any other K-32's built, so had to recall this one from the sales department, and change the finish to nickel !
