I've got one that sat in a closet in a western Kansas farmhouse for over 50 years.I use for a barn gun.Recently one sold on the auction side for $459.Does anyone have one of those old ads to show what they sold for new,back in the 30's?

  tocamoha, they're going for more than $459 in good shape. Mainly for the small production numbers. I watched that auction too, and expected it to go for at least $300 more. Someone got a steal on it. I've got a copy of Bert's polishing room records for the Model 57, if you want a DOM.

  Serial# 8299.Mine's not in great shape.The blue is gone and the wood is dinged up but it shoots fine.I used to have the original leather sling but it disintegrated.
