    No idea...

    ...could not have been that many , a few hundred to maybe a thousand or two max , I'd guess. The one I had showed lots of hand fitting of parts , which would be expected on such a limited non-comercial run. No spare parts were ever advertised , so I figure they were also hand made and fitted when needed at his factory. Someone imported them 10-15 years ago and it took years to sell them out. $1500 , I believe was the price then. Chris

    Now , if you want to cry...

    ...what about the mint Jap M1icon Garand copy that floated around the gunshows here for around three years back in the 80s. Guy wanted $600 , and it took forever to sell. ( well hey , the peep was way too tiny and it shot hard to find , and expensive when you did, ammo and I could buy a M1 for less and....) Had a dozen chances to buy , never did. Chris
