Laser, Sorry it's taken so long to respond. Life got in the way.
I picked up a pair of Escort 61-3's from an Estate sale here in town for $300. One Nickle, and one Blue. Both NIB unfired, with the boxes, all paperwork, and cleaning kits included.
Interesting littles pieces, with the Barrel and Recoil Mechanisim inverted and all. The Nickle version has the Champagne colored grips, while the Blue version is just like yours. After a good oiling, ( both had been sitting for 30 + years, and were drier than a popcorn fart) they functioned flawlessly.Thanks for your input.
