How would you like to buy a brace (that means two) of brand new .22 lr or .22 magnum Colt Frontier Scouts for $125.00 in the 125th Anniversary Medallion Presentation Case ; or a combo of a Frontier Scout and a Buntline Scout in the same type of case for $135.00. If you're feeling poor, you can just get a single Frontier Scout for $64.50.
Or, you can get a Ruger Single Six Revolver in .22lr and .22 mag for $64.25, or a .44 magnum Super Blackhawk for $116.00.
Sounds too good to be true, right? Here's the catch: you need a time machine to go back about 50 years to get these prices.
I found four or five issues of a gun mag called "Guns Quarterly" when looking over some of my deceased father-in-law's workroom. The prices I'm quoting from came from ads in Volume 4 of the magazine. There is no date of publication, but it appears to be from the early 60's.
Great gun magazine, with reviews guns that were new then, but are now classics, or interviews with people like Bill Ruger.
But the prices . . . okay, I KNOW that you have to take inflation into count, but still, looking at those prices compared to what they would cost today . . . hurts.
