As I continue to learn about these guns, the one thing that evades me is "condition." Learning if it was refinished, refurbished, re-$*&#ed up, whatever. I think Randy said he saw a .410 (?) with a high price but not enough "condition." I could be wrong. I'm wondering where the best place is to see as new to original as possible would be? A show like Vegas? A museum?? Call me cynical but I trust fewer dealers the more I get into this. I would have loved to see that gun as close to factory new as described just for the learning experience.

Sorry Andy, that was a few years ago. But Louis Parker will have a fantastic display at this year's HOF and you must attend. It will be held during the Southern in Sanford NC.
