I have been on the local Friends of NRA Committee a long time and Chairman for the last 5 years. I have picked up several of the NRA guns as a result and will buy them if they are not too "glitzy" which this one is not. They sell for just a little more than the standard pistols.(which is what they are)
I made what I consider a good offer on this pistol and was turned down. He was told at the time he won it that the value was $2500 and his $1500 reserve is as low as he will go.
I wish him good luck with his auction.
