Yeah, that is very true. There is something mystique about owning a Whitney when very few own one. I myself cant quite afford one......yet.
Well its something to aim for. I kne of the existenc of the ne I have for years and years. Its owner considered it the best item in his collection and when he died age 52 he left it to his wife. A year or so later another friend came to tell me that his wife had put it into a local gunshop to sell for $1350NZ and he wanted it but didnt have the money. I made him a deal - I would buy it for him and if he did not uplift it in 12 weeks by reimbursing me then I got to keep it - For the next twelve weeks I dreaded every day, but when the twelve weeks had passed and he had not uplifted it then it was mine...and now it just aint for sale.
Youll get one - they come up form time to time and there is always one advertised somewhere in the US of A for sale. Just save for it and if you do that you will have the money when it is avaliable.
The past really lives when you take originals out to shoot and the Whitney Kennedy is ideal.
Actually come to think of it I have to make up my mind which gun to get buried with - the Whitney Kennedy or my Spencer!
