It's been 6 hours since my last purchase, a 1935 Model 8D. You see it went like this...I have a Stevens 425 in .25 Remington. Then I'm in a shop and they have a 1914 Model 8A in .25 Rem. on the shelf, maybe 60%, with a replaced forend AND 75 rounds of ammo, so I've got to get it - right? Then I get it home and the ammo is a 1914 full box of Remington-UMC soft points and a full box of 1915 Rem-UMC full jacket with a couple of boxes of mixed vintage ammo - only 4 or 6 "newer" rounds and I'm thinking the ammo was worth half of the total the price I paid. Can't shoot it.

So I'm in another shop and darn them, they have this fairly nice condition 8D in .32 and I have a credit at the store... Well might as well have another gun that I can't shoot without making another buy - right? This one is maybe 70% but the wood is worse, checking about worn down and another replaced forend. This one is missing the operating handle. Maybe there's one floating around in here? Couldn't pass up the engraving - on part of the magazine sides and a snazzy triangular spiral behind the trigger. Pictures when the wife loans me our camera. Thanks for having this great site!
