In 1968 I was a senior in HS and working a weekend job...think I made 90 cents and hour.

Bought a new 6" M-28 a year later...IIRC it cost me a tad under a hundred dollars.

FN in MT

Part time job in grocery store $1.05 per hour. Summer of 1968 full time job in factory making 105 mm artillery shells, base = $2.65 per hour plus production bonus upto $0.30 per hour. 1967 college tuition for 1 semester was $147 and included "textbook rental".

In 1968, that M29 was ~ 50 to 60 hours labor at my pay scale. In 2010, prior to layoff / retirement the price was nominal 25 to 30 hours but there was a significant tax burden to pe paid first. 1960's, those were the good old days.

Thanks to another forum member:

The Model 37 is mentioned (w/ price) in the "Notes" of the Model 36,
as well as the M49 in the M38 notes, and the M42 in the notes of the M40.

Same year I graduated! 1968, My car would actually gain speed uphill and I could even afford to put gas in it a drive around for fun with a very hot 16 year old girlfriend. Camel non filter cigs for 25 cents a pack at the standard station.
I only wish I had been more into guns at that time. I have a 1968 model 37 and that is one reason I kept it even though I bought it to sell......
Enjoy,
