Just got back from the gun shop. I spent time looking each gun over completely. Here are the results:
1. Early EG- very little bluing on the receiver, barrel shows wear as well, a few nicks in the metal, the stock and forearm also have multiple dings and scrapes as well. - Price is appropriate at 450, maybe a tad high.
2. Later EG - Date code 20E, 1953. Bluing thin on receiver, and barrel, wood has wear marks and scrapes and - A CUT OFF STOCK WITH A PACHMYR on it. Price is high at 525.
3. R - No date code S/N puts it later than 53. Similar bluing thinning, wear marks and scrapes on wood. Price is 550, a tad high?
All common guns in a common caliber with visible wear. No leeway on price.
I walked out with out them. Just didn't move me.
I agree with Fireball. Gotta be something to make me jump and sing, being a musician and all.
Besides, can't have more guns than guitars... just ain't right...
Wait... I have 3 times as many fishing poles as guitars.... need more guitars....
