I also want to add, thanks for all the comments.
For some reason when my dad gave it to me he implied (or I inferred) that it's not a very good gun.
It's nice to know that I'm wrong, but in a good way. Usually when I get values of anything mixed up it's in the other direction and my silk purse is usually a sows ear. An old wore out crappy sows ear at that.
It makes me wonder, though, if pops thinks this wasn't one of his better guns then what's he got stashed away.
Now that I'm learning more about it I may have to order the factory records for it. Does anyone mind posting the contact info for me?
I'd be stoked to find out that my great grandpa bought it new, and being from upstate NY I'd guess (or hope) there's a fair chance he did.
