Well I went to Sarco today looking for some small parts for builds and the occasional retro score there which seem to be fewer and further between.
They were filming a show there called "Weapon Hunter"" which I guess is on the Smithsonian Channel and may be worth a look but I found nothing really interesting there.
So basically right next door is another shop called The Heritage Guild with a nice indoor range and usually nice but expensive stuff. I went looking to pick up a 45 can when I saw her...
A 1962 National Match built at the Springfield armory on an Ithaca frame with Colt slide and at a price I felt was reasonable. But there are so many NM fakes and I don't know enough about them to risk the money on one, wait a second...
Well hot damn!
Now I need to do some research on who Lt Col Fred VonSholly was and wow, he paid $21.85 for it in 1965
One of 3025 built for the national match and one of only 172 sold through the DCM!
