Michael, a very short time before the Emil McConnell auction, I "did not buy" a wonderful G&H numbered Model 52 heavy sporter, about the nicest .22 rifle I'd ever seen that didn't live at my house. It was tagged at $2995.00 and could have been bought for less. Imagine my shock and horror when Emil's Model 52 sold for nearly $15,000. I wonder where "my" $2995.00 Model 52 is today?
