I just bought one and paid $210 and am very satisfied that the price was fair. However, I feel that much more than that would be tto much as there seems to be an abundance of these on the market. I only bought this one because it reminded me of how hard I worked pithching hay in the Summer of 1950......my only pay being one of these and how proud I was of that gun......also how many Squirrels and Rabbits it brought to the table.
