I am sure these are on consignment at the gun shop.. someone is retiring, died or whatever.. so getting them sold..this is the same shop that sold off a guys entire collection after he passed away..had over 100 colt handgun as well as over 100 Winchesters.. impressive..
Personally I have zero interest in this..but thought others would find it interesting... I had never seen one let alone 2 before..
