Well where to begin...
Spoke to Rick... he's a great guy, we agreed no one knows about these things for sure, maybe early...early Repro or even 2nd run!
Walter... this paper is way to old to be a 1976 item, so errrrrrr Thank You for playing!
Dick... I couldn't agree more. One thing it isn't... a fake, maybe a repro from the first 30 years of the last century.
Going to put it on ebay and let the market determine its' value.
GLS Speak of coincidence, I have a 40's-50's vintage Savage Cardboard 3D Cutout Free Standing Display going up on ebay Sunday...I know is legit. It was in the family Gun store when I was a toddler [I'm 62].
Thanks... I went after 2 tours in Nam when it cost $18,000 a year. That'll TEACH ME TO SET AN EXAMPLE!
John: My grandfather was a champion English Pointer breeder in the 20's-40's and got to know Alvin while attending Field Trials in Wisconsin. Owning a Gun Store [GRANDAD] they did business with one another till Alvin's death in 1945. He built a 03 Sporter for my granddad based on a NRA Sporter BARRELED ACTION with a Zeiss Zielklein. It has the CORD Grill style checkering. I just took the moniker,in honor of "OL SKRATCH". No Blood...Just History
Thanks and GOD BLESS FOR ALL THE HELP!
Jerry
