brand new High Standard Sentinel R-107

Found this little Gem last week. It is brand new by every possible method if determination. Blueing is 100% grips are 100% Barely visible drag line on the cylinder. No evidence it has ever been fired. These guns had aluminum frames and firing even one round would disturb the finish on the frame where flame cutting occurs.

Wish I had a box to put it in. Then it would be N.I.B.!

This model was the first handgun I ever owned, over 50 years ago. I have been looking for another nice one ever since.

But now I have a decision to make. :banghead: Should I shoot it or not? The collector in me screams NO!!! But the shooter in me says; go ahead and enjoy it, it isn't exactly in the same class as Colt hoglegs or Lugers. It will never be worth four figures, at least probably not in my lifetime. Its not a high end collectable.

What should I do? Convince me one way or the other

Still trying to figure this thing out. Hope this works. I've been shooting mine. That's what I bought it for.

I couldn't resist. Put a hundred rounds through it yesterday.. Shoots to the left, so I need to get a plastic punch and try to drift that aluminum rear sight without tearing it up. wish they would have used steel, but a magnet won't stick to it so I assume it's aluminum.
