As I've noted in other posts, I bought my first Browning DA (new) back in 1961 and I still hunt with it. I have a friend who lives down the road who is a serious DA collector. At last count, he had 23 of them, in various colors and configurations and all in pristine condition. He is still hunting for the "Holy Grail" of Browning Double Autos (in terms of scarcity), one finished in the color blue.
