A couple of years ago, Kevin McCormack and I were talking to a fellow we have known since I was a kid and Kevin wasn't much older and he was telling us how he doubled his money when he bought the pair of A1 Specials that sold in the auction for $225,000. Kevin may correct my memory, but I think he paid $2500 and sold them for $5000, maybe it was less. Abercrombie and Fitch paid $325. Another friend of Kevin's and mine owned the guns in between our other friend and the consignor. If we grill our friends about whom they purchased the guns from, we would have an amazing, almost complete history of this pair of guns and a 6000 percent ??? appreciation. Or is it 60,000 percent ???
