I think I should buy a lottery ticket after this epic score because I didn't pay much at all for it. It doesn't have paperwork but appears to be legit in my novice eye. The gun grades to about 98% condition and I am still twitching when I think about it. It has a 1952 barrel on a 1953 receiver so I think I started its life out as a type 1 build in 1953. Now I need to start the long process of figuring out how to authenticate it. Here are some pics, what do you experts think?
