    It's amazing where guns turn up though.

    Since forever seamen were never checked getting off ships at ports for example. I client showed me a mint Colt 1911 once,I asked him if it was left over from the war? "Nah he replied,I bought it off a taxi driver in Manilla in the 60s.

    They (JC Higgins) were made for Sears mail order catalogue in the US. if you google JC Higgins you will see it was Sears brand and many of the larger Gun Co's supplied rifles, shotguns etc under their house brand.
