Recently i found a uncommon lithgow in a pawnshop, it was a 1921, unsporterized, but sadly someone had coated the stock in some super shiny urethane finish or shellac, the cartouches looked clear underneath it though, i didnt check whether it was matching or not after i seen their price tag.............$499 :shock:

i'm sure they are flexible on their price but i'm not sure, i know the 1920's are rare but whats the most that i should offer?

They aren't going to go down in price, that's for sure - with only 14,440 rifles made in 1921 you can bet not all are still in existence such is the nature of war. I would offer $350 for it and see what he does, though I think it is definitely worth $400, if you start there you have room to negotiate. The guy clearly knows the rarity of the year so ...

Best, Tiki.

I let a 42 lith go a few months back for 300.00 up North here. Hopes that helps.

Anyway seen your location I lived in Claremore several years- then Pryor for 1 before moving up North. At the Time when It was open work at the Glass Plant there SPI glass'

And the J.M Davis gun museum knew it but heart ha ha

No- It was on the North side of claremore Back in the day Burgess Norton was on the left side of 66 north-, you turned west right there-[ SPI glass corporation] was down that road on the north side of the street they did glass tempering and window coating for the high rise buildings--Actual FORD built the building and it started around 1984 then they sold it to a private group-I think they went belly up around 1991, I left in 1990..

got my thoughts up I looked at google

E Lowry RD--or E470r google shows the building still there I can see the water holding tank in the far back of the lot for the required fire protection that we used to maintain
