    How has that rifle survived in that condition for 70+ years! Spectacular.

    A race that can't stay still;
    So they break the hearts of kith and kin,
    And they roam the world at will." - Robert Service

        Way, way outside my pay grade. It would be nice to have but it would have to be a safe queen and you'd never get your money out of it.

            I agree the buyer will never be able to get his money back, but I think most people who would pay that much already know that, and don't care. Some people pay many thousands of dollars for high end automobiles, knowing they will be worth far less when they sell them than what they originally cost. Others buy a KIA. Just depends on what you like and how much money you have.

              Just like that Model Shop Receiver that sold for 95 grand. I don't think even his kids will see a profit on that. Collecting is strange.
