hanging on the wall was a Swiss Veterli, rim fire, broken firing pin, cracked stock, bayonet lug filed off.
How much I ask? $1200 the response. No response from me.
I am a sucker for anything odd, or odd calibred.
After fondling it a while, he says we'll take $800. I say, It's not worth half that. He says, OK we'll take $400. I say NO! I said that it is NOT worth half that!!!
Came back a week later got it for $100 and a bolt action 16ga.
PS: it had a spare firing pin in the stock.
