I have HS R101 sn 746654 that I purchased new in about 1956 or 1957. At that time I was about 17 YO and walked into my local hardware store and bought it. I remember the clerk telling me it was a "new model"
10-250 USD or so
R101 was filled with hydrogen.
Mom helped me shoot hers when i was 6 or 8 years old. That was around 1963. It was not brand new then.
It would help if you had a picture and i might be interested in buying it off you!
