Hello all, just found this forum while looking for information about a 41 I have had for some time.
It is, if I figure correctly, a first year gun. The serial number on the box has "41" seperated by a dashed vertical line from "5xx". and the box and pistol numbers match. It is marked just "model 41" and is a 22LR.
I am not a collector and have started feeling guilty shooting this gun as much as I have and do because I think a collector would get a lot more out of it than I do. I will not give up having a 41, just think I would be as happy with a true shooter as opposed to a collector piece.
While not perfect there is very, very little wrong with the cosmetics of the gun and it functions flawlessly.
So my questions would include; is this likely a first year gun as I assume? My books tell me there is a premium for the cocking indicator... how much does that work out to in the real World? How likely is it someone would want to trade for such a piece?
I am capable of taking and posting high quality photos, and will if there is interest. Thanks for your time.
