Look at the 7E NID with all goodies, only 318 bucks.

As for the Sousa Grade, another cost comparison is 20 dollar gold pieces. 31 would close the deal in 1930. Thats 28.5 oz gold, at $1113 per oz, or $31720.

The CPI value noted above, seems a better fit, when compared to similar guns being made in USA today.

Thanks Walt, for sharing a fascinating piece of history.
