I was 14 at the time and I believe my Dad fronted the money for me so I could complete the deal immediately. I still own the gun and shot a round of skeet with it two weeks ago. In the years since, I have bought a few other Wagner Parkers and haven't sold any of them.
Phew, I feel better reading this, I was afraid you might have bought your first one brand new
