I have one pre-war 42 that has turned brown with patina. The previous owner said his grandfather bought it in 1936. I tried to convince him to keep it or give it to his son but he said he didn't want it so I traded a new AR 15 for it. Later discussion found that he used to hide his marijuana in it and the piece to shorten the magazine is a piece of an old pool stick. A great shooter with a 26 mod barrel, as said before, everyone should have at least one.
