Alan, in the early 1980's I visited Pachmayers store. His long time secretary just
happened to be there at the same time in his office. Frank had sold the business
sometime previously. She showed me his office along with several new guns. The
story she relayed to me was that after Frank sold his business he returned several days later to only find the new owners had marked the price down on many guns that he paid more for than presently marked. He was so upset he wrote them a check for around a million dollars to buy the guns back! He instructed his secretary to put them in his office for him to pick up later. Many of them were still there when I visited. Along with several Pachmayer upgrades it was a real treat to see all of them! With a young family I could only afford to buy
a beautiful Pachmayer gold threaded shooting patch. 😊
