There was a plan for the RCA to auction off this 120 piece Ruger collection. There was an inventory done, but Mrs. Davis backed out. The collection was sold via a 1/2 page Shotgun News ad in July of 1983. I was “fortunate” enough to be the high bidder, after borrowing money from my Mother in Law and the Bank. I had just received my FFL on July 1. I still have the 2 No.1’s, the Single Six and 357 Flattop.
Great story Mr Newton.
Thanks for sharing with all of us.
Question. I know the bank charged you interest, what about your mother in law :?: :)
