It's a very interesting Annie gun, but it will be awhile before it reaches the market. This will be the highest priced Annie Oakley gun yet. One Annie Oakley gun that sold for more than $140,000 was not even built for Annie and she may have never seen or touched it. I will be avoiding that one on the resale market. What would be the price for a gun that she shot for many years, including the early years, and that she is pictured with? A serious collector would be a bit interested in that. There are Annie guns and there are Frank Butler guns, and there are guns that may be neither. Now that we know Annie's not only unusual, but unique stock dimensions, we can separate the wheat from the chaff and serious collectors will pay the price for the real ones.
