Mdle. 1950

LOL, I wish. Handguns actually can't be sold at yard sales or flea markets in PA unless you're a licensed FFL dealer. Rifles and shotgus are fine, just not handguns. I was expecting $350 and was shocked when I saw how much they are. A lot more than I want to spend. My 1935 was $450.00. I'm usually not into post WWII stuff in any case unless it's something I really like or they are dirt cheap.

My accumulation has experienced creep into some early Cold War items. As you say, it was primarily due to running across targets of opportunity rather than by intention. As the regulatory noose closes here, I figured I'd bite the bullet on this one while I still could, despite the hefty bottom line.

Yeah, I have some creep also, SKS, AK, Makarov and a few others but all pretty good bargains at time of purchase. While I may pay that much or more for a wartime pistol, post war is out. At least until I get all the wartime which I have a long way to go.
