I'm pretty sure it hasn't been used since then. He passed in 89 and I got it sometime around then. I had a smith go thru it around 90 and it's been in my safe ever since.

They just don't bring a lot of money. They're very complex with a million parts that are impossible to find if something breaks. It truly is a museum piece but not really in that condition.
The fact that it belonged to your dad makes it a family treasure, sure you will take good care of it, thanks for showing it.
