Brown Sidelock Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 11,573 Likes: 165 Iowa	Originally Posted By: Drew Hause A few standard grade pumps from 1927 Marlin 43A - $50 Remington 17A - $47 Winchester 97 - $44 Winchester 12 - $51 Just acquired a reprint of the 1936 Abercrombie & Fitch catalog. (I have a Sauer imported by A&F that year.) The interesting part is that some gun prices went down during the Depression. The Model 12, for example, lists for $39.50 in my catalog. But it was back up to $43.64 by 1940, according to my Shooters Bible. Also interesting to compare prices back then vs now, on the used market. My Model 280 Sauer 20ga cost about $40 more than a Parker DHE back then. I think I paid a decent price for the Sauer, not a super bargain or a steal. But what I paid would not touch a DHE 20ga in decent shape today. (But would certainly buy a NIB 20ga Repro!) I also had no idea Francottes were that pricey in 1936. $175 for a Knockabout with ejectors. That's just $11.50 under the DHE price. Last edited by L. Brown; 03/14/11 10:16 AM.
