Lucky enough a few years back to run into an old friend. Had not seen him since he retired. He was always the ulimate gun nut! We got to talking and wanted to show me his new play pretty. Brought out a new HP or so I thought. He said not only had it not been shot but had been orignally part of a collection of 10 never fired HP's. He told me that a fellow collector had purchased 10 of them in the early 60's as an investment. He was now selling all ten and my friend had purchased this one. I said, "What do you want for it?" He said "$550" I said would you take $500 because thats all I have on me. Walked out with it! It came with one mag and the orignial soft pouch. I sent the serial numbers into Browning trying to find out the date of production and it turned out to be 1964 T-Series Browning.
I have never shot it myself. I have wanted to but thought what a good trade it would make one day. My question to you guys. Would you keep it stock and unshot for collectors value or do some custom work and shoot it?
