    I agree. Just because it was owned by a celebrity doesn't grant it any historical value. I can see a bit of a premium but not much.

    You ever shoot one? I have 2 Grade 2's. They are great little guns!
    The short throw and the trigger drops with the lever.....So fun to shoot!

    My wife has a signed Christmas card and letter that was sent to her mom back in the 40's from Red Skelton. [:)]

    I always liked him and to own one of his rifle's would be a joy but for what they are asking is a bit high IMO.

    Red's clown paintings are worth a small fortune today!

    I know just about any car or motorcycle once owned by Steve McQueen has gone through the roof price wise!

    I think it might be worth at least half again the market value of one without the provenance to a collector of this model.
    What's next?
