2 hours from my house and see one of these at a gun shop . Shooter grade but nice for a gun from the 30's .
Dont remember the last one I saw for sale , Thought about it over supper and called them [ 2 hours max ]
A guy was doing the paperwork when I called .
DAMN-DAMN-DAMN
Thought about it all w/e and kicked my butt 100 times .
Something told me to call back and doublecheck and guess what , he failed the paperwork .
Put it on layaway this morning . I'd rather be lucky than good anyday .

Here's a pic of mine. 1939, if memory serves. A bit worn, but an excellent shooter:

Congrats Phillip. That's one I've wanted for years but has eluded me for one reason or another.

Mine is not an officers model, just an old police positive target. Still looking for the officers model.
