Some of the "grandad's old war trophies " would have been good though.

Police items I can remember buying; 6.5mm Jap Arisaka Carbine $40, M1 Garand $35, super tidy National Postal Meter M1 Carbine $50 (I got growled out by some old NZAAA member for pushing prices up on that one!), .30-06 M17 $40. These rifles were all in as issued condition. I wasn't interested in ordinary sporting rifles much so they mostly sold in the $20-30 range. Before I wax too lyrical about 'the good old days' I remember that I was only taking home about $55 per week in 1969/70 as senior firearms salesman for Tisdalls in Ch-Ch (not counting little perq jobs). I do remember that a jug of beer was less than 40 cents then though!
