I was at the LGS today, when they showed me a 1950s-era $950 "Pre-Mark," which I think means the Mark i (I'm in California, which has a roster limiting handgun variety and jacking up prices on new and used handguns). To me and the sales clerk (whom I trust), it was in great shape, e.g. no rust or excessive wear. I might use it at the range or keep it as a safe queen. This type of .22LR is not in my area of knowledge, so I wanted to check in with you about the price and pros and cons of it. Thanks
