Vintage 1952 514
Another classic T514 added to the RPM stables and are my favorite barrel length. This vintage Mark 1 was produced in the first year of production in 1952. Featuring a tapered ear bolt flat on bottom. Interesting serial number 28028.

Very nice! A friend had a T514 with the 2 piece bolt still in the original box. I can't remember if the flat was on the top or bottom. After he died his kids turned it and an early RST4 with black eagle grips into the cops to be destroyed.
Some people sit on $.05 of knowledge like it is the treasure of Egypt. I will teach anyone $.10 worth just to prove a point...

AS noted multiple times............This model should never have been removed from offering production!
Steven Vogel's personal T514, SN 278XX (Must be one of the earliest production) lives here in The Woods, along with the Ray Viramontez engraved stainless 22 auto gifted to Steve by the RCA...........I Miss Mr Vogel..........

Nice one RPM, and like the double 'Splitz' numbers on it,,,neat and yes I still believe one of their best models they ever made....sadly Laura sold all of hers many years ago, I believe even the 'Radical One' got some of them, as well as breakfast........
