Please don't take this as an insult, but you may have cognitive issue if you don't understand how the concepts of rarity, provenance, and historical significance play into financial value.Good for whomever gets it, but it won't DO anything that my 1954 Springfield won't do just as well. I bought mine to SHOOT, not for any collector status. And, the parts on his gun will swap out to mine with no problem and vice versa. And his name was pronounced "GARE-rund", not " Guh-RAND!"
