TR – thanks for the information and the advice.  I’m tired and trying to retire myself so by force of pragmatics, I’ll continue to work toward resisting the urge to acquire more.  There is just so much interesting stuff out there.   

Have you ever seen the Jim Gordon collection of 73’s?  He has sold them all and moved on to other guns but he recorded and pictured his guns in a 2 volume set.  He didn’t care about condition but tried to get all variations.

I don’t have Jim’s books.  I see they are out of print.  I just looked on Amazon and there is a new two volume set for $1350 and one used set was available for $1250.  Laugh

Steve,

Watch Ebay for them. They come up now and then for $600 to $800. Originally they sold for $375
