Notes from the gun shop...

Boy, did this day start off with a "bang"!  I walked in at 8:55 and sold a gun by 9:15 and it didn't slow down until about 1:00.  Busy, busy, busy.  Lots of "stuff" went out the door as well.  Christmas buying is in high gear and a number of people are buying big ticket, i.e. $100+, gifts.  I know some boys who are getting some great presents this year.

Interesting guns?  Well, we were busy today but we did have an Erma made DSM34 Deutsche Sportmodell come into the shop.  These are really neat single-shot .22 LR guns built in NAZI Germany, mostly before 1939, for training.  Used by many organizations, they are pretty accurate, very well made and lots of fun.  They now bring pretty good money as well.  Unfortunately, the busy work day precluded photo taking so I grabbed this one from icollector.com.  It sold for $2390.00 (including the buyer's premium). See Philip Beekley's page for more info...

Erma DSM-34 with ZF-41 Scope (very unusual)
