I purchased this gun new in late 1970 or early 1971. The serial number is 1186xx. The records that I have been able to access say that it was manufactured near the end of that L579 action numbering series maybe in 1972.
There is no doubt of when I bought it (1970-71). I did purchase it in Naples, Italy and lugged it back to the US
aboard a naval vessel. I talked to a rep from Blue Book of Guns because I could find no reference to this gun
in their data base. His answer kind of implied that it either didn't exist or I had the only one in the country.
The gun has had under a hundred rounds thru it and is about 98%. It has beautiful wood and almost immaculate metal. I am able to provide pictures etc.
What I am in search of is the regular sort of thing. History, value etc.
Thank You,
Rand E
