Well almost, I bought this gun around 1975 or 6, there were 5 or 6 of us who got them all around the same time. We would get together and go to the local range. Well sooner or later the novelty wore off we all went our seperate ways.
I had five kids, by the mid 90's I hadn't used it for awhile and one afternoon I caught the kids (young teens) at the time trying to figure out how to get the trigger lock off. I panicked and sold it. The wife was adamant about not teaching them how to use it properly.
Well fast forward to about a month ago, thirteen or so years later I got the urge to get a gun and get back into it, kids are grown sounded like a plan. Was going to go with a small auto just for plinking, when in passing I asked a buddy of mine who knows the guy I sold to if still has it and ever uses it. Turns out he never fired the gun in all the time he had it.
Moral of the story is I bought it back, clean as a whistle and still in the same case as when I sold it to him. If someone has the time to take a look and tell me approximately what year and value it might have. If I remeber right I was the second owner and the person before me didn't have for more than 6 months which would make it 74 or 75? Are those Herret grips? 7K65xxx
Thanks in advance (newest member to this forum)Hope the pictures come out ok.
