That early 1982 letter from Roy Jinks is probably worth as much as the gun! Some of Roy's early letters are priceless! I have one for a Victory model that says in the canned portion of the letter that 8,000 Victory Models were shipped to Austria! I'm still looking for one of the Austrian Victory Models! Also, letters on certain New Model No. 3s that were recorded in the shipping ledgers as being shipped to "Rev. Smith, or Rev. Jones, etc." Roy said were shipped to a bunch of "Pistol Packin' Bible Thumpers" until we figured out that Rev. stood for "Revenue Cutter" (This is not a knock at Roy, we are very old friends, but I still get a chuckle everytime I think about it.)
