IM, the constant warning concerning the resale depreciation of Spanish guns led me to buy a used no.2 for 50 cents on the dollar. Of course, that's the way I buy everything if I can so I own a few "half-guns" and a few that are a bit better than that. Have seen very few no. 2s fall below the $1800-2000 range and have concluded that that's where they stick regardless of condition.
