Went by a gun store in a small town South of Utica. Holy Golly Gee. They had one of everything. Even stuff we can buy in New York like a Ma Duce. And five VZ52’s. But that’s another story for another time.
Back to the post. They had a nice looking 1897. Always wanted one. The action was zip tied closed so I couldn’t look too close. Outside and stock looked good. It’s old of course. Most finish is gone. Since I have always wanted one, I have done my homework. Doesn’t make me even close to an expert by any means. Its tag said $699. I wanted to know what types of things to look for before buying and how to determine price. Thanks.
