I have a dandy 42. Sorry, not for sale!
My Dad was at work in the mid 60s. A coworker asked him if he wanted to buy a 410 pump Winchester? His brother in law wants 40 bucks for it.
My Dad said, if it's a Winchester pump and in 410, he'd buy it sight unseen.
The guy says, it's in my trunk. My Dad paid him and they walked out to get the gun, wrapped in an old blanket was a mint deluxe Model 42 410 Skeet with a solid rib and English stock!
My Dad said, he was going to give the guy more money for it but other coworkers kept coming to my Dad all day telling him how bad he got screwed since the brother in law only wanted $25.00 for it!
After 10-12 people told him how stupid he was my Dad wrote down the number to the local gunshop and told them to call and ask, how much a 42 Skeet is? If they could get one!
I love the memory of the story as much as the gun......
Good luck with your search!
