Have not been to a show in awhile but last night went to a new one for me. Not much that looked good so we where on the way out the door when I spoted a older gentlemen carrying a winchester 94. I asked to look at it. A very nice 94 in 32 cal. He told me he bought it in 1960 in Japan while in the Navy and only shot a half box of shells. The best part he still had the receipt where he paid 51.50 on Nov 6 1960. The gun is like new sitting in my lap right now. Pics to follow

Great find. I'm betting the old fellow had a pretty good return on his investment.
