Ron Mills Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Arthur: Eeeeewwwwww! I know, you calls 'em as ya sees 'em. Everybody join colt21a with a unison "wink" on the Gen. Thompson movie! Yes, we could watch prices double as soon as folks file out of the theaters! Hollywood is a powerful influence, n'est pas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 I think Ruby's revolver used for the Oswald hit sold at auction for $250,000......... That is real inside baseball on Helmer, Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
