OK, I looked at the realized prices and reviewed the pictures. $18,400 including BP is a great deal, pits and all. The wall thickness is not excessive considering the 7 pound, 7 ounce weight. A call to Boss probably eliminated all concerns for the new owner. I once helped a friend buy a pair of early Beretta SO3EELL game guns that were rusted beyond all hope. He turned them over to someone we all know and the guns are now mint condition. The Boss will probably get the same treatment, or not.
