They were outsourced to make up for the high demand during WW2. Very collectable. Pics are appreciated!

Somebody was nice to Goodwill.

Somebody died and the family emptied everything into boxes and took it to Goodwill for the tax write off.

Probably true, if it wasn't for my SIL saying to talk to me, my MIL would've sold all of her 2nd husband's guns for dirt!

One guy looked at his guns and said that all he would offer was $1,500 dollars! That and he didn't think they were even worth that much!

I sold one rifle for that much and the guy that bought it was happy to pay that!

Someone at GW obviously did their homework.

From what I understand GW has gotten much more savvy on checking things that are donated. I think something like that Randall knife would have warranted a quick online search for it's value.

Can you imagine going to goodwill and picking it up for $20 bucks? I’d be a happy camper.
