And she's a beaut. A Smith-Corona in pristine condition, with all numbers matching and a crisp stock cartouche. Better yet, she cost me just $375.
How'd I do it? Simple. The 03A3 has been my dad's for many years. I've periodically drooled over it. Recently, he said he was interested in getting a PPK. I just happened to have one I'd picked up recently for $375. He said he's trade me straight up for it. Deal! Actually, I offered to give him some cash, too, but he turned me down. He knew how much I wanted that rifle.
It's gonna look great on the wall with my Garands and M1 carbine. I'm just bummed that winter is setting in and I probably won't get her out to the range for another six months or so.
