In 1968 a friend of mine bought a 1902 Woodward with case for $35 at a garage sale in Waterloo,Iowa. He had the lady make up a bill of sale,which I saw. He had the barrels reblued and a new forend made but it was a really nice gun. He wanted $700 for it and I did not have the cash and a lawyer from Minnesota bought it.I have a letter from Jack O'Conner stating that he would not give that much for a 1902 Woodward but that many people would and that kind of kept me from borrowing the money to buy it.Keep in mind that I was making $2 an hour at a creamery at the time.Time heals all wounds.My ex would have ended up with it anyway so I don't feel too bad.
