That gun has seen some country and could tell some great stories.
Yet the original owner thought enough of it not to drill any holes in it and to save the original box he bought it brand new in 75 years ago. Who saves a box 75 years? This guy wasn't a collector of guns, he was a collector of memories. A man I wish I could have known. Holding that gun in your hands is like holding a piece of American history.
IMO, that gun is way more interesting and has WAY more character than if it were in unused condition.
Just me.
