SOLD. 1958 Catalog Mailer introducing the Bearcat. $50 delivered. Will post on RF as well. 1st I'll take it. Thanks.

There are two different variations of that having to do with the Bearcat ammo.
The earliest says something like "For all .22 Rimfire Ammunition", and the 2nd one says something like "Uses S, Long and Long Rifle ammunition".
At that time they were developing the .22 Mag, so needed to make the correction in that catalog.

Can you tell what the serial number of the Bearcat is in the lower photo?

Mike, there's no serial numbers marked on the early mailers. This one looks like the late '58 version with that says ".22 short, long or long rifle ammunition".

Thanks. Just curious. BTW check my signature line. The name is Frank. Fox Mike is a 'handle' I picked up in the service.

Correct -no s/n on the mailers. And, this is the later 58 with the s/l/lr ammunition. I never did own the early 58.

BTT - Price reduced to $50 shipped.
