This could never happen today, & it was delivered to my door.

Quoted:
Let's see the gun! Sorry, I don`t have it anymore. I traded it & $$ for a 1960 Army Match Colt 1911 45 pistol. The guy only wanted it for home defence & I convinced him that a stock 45 would be all he needed for that purpace & made a deal for the match pistol. |

I was approached 10 or so years ago by a neighbor who knew I had an interest in guns and who needed money. He told me he had an old 1911 .45 he wanted to sell. After looking at his US Property stamped 1911A1 with original 2 tone magazine, I asked him how much he needed for it. He told me $200 and we made a deal.
After he had the money in his hand, he started laughing and told me he only paid $20 for it. I promptly told him that I'd gladly give him $200 each for as many as he could get. Unfortunately, there was only one. |

Quoted:
What made the pistol deemed *unserviceable & conversion* as the receipt says? Nothing, that`s how they had to be classified to be sold to the public back then. My brother also bought one & between the two of us, we put a lot of rounds out of both of them & never had one problem with either one. |

Quoted: I don` have the $17.00 anymore. I traded it & $ for this Colt Match Pistol many years ago. http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad11/cougar696969/MYGUNPICS004.jpg I think I just got sick. I sold a pistol just like that about 5 years ago for $500. I thought is was just a bubba-ized government model. I'm talking IDENTICAL down to the stippling on the frontstrap. |

This could never happen today, & it was delivered to my door. I have a reciept that looks a lot different and was passed down to me from my Grandfather. The reciept was written out to my great uncle for one Luger pistol in 1945. I still have the reciept laying around here somewhere but no pistol

Quoted: Quoted: Am I just retarded, or does that state that you paid $17.00 for a 1911? You are retarded. The date was 1960. He got raped in 1960 for a 1911. On the inflation calculator, $17 in 1960 works out to $121 now, so anyone paying over 150 bucks for a USGI 1911 are the ones getting raped.  |
