One 21 was a Custom Grade in about 100% that I bought at Jaqua's about 10 years ago for $5000.00 and just sold it for $11,000. And I made several thousand dollars on the other Model 21s. I guess I got tired of having all of these guns sitting around collecting dust and always being afraid of putting a scratch on them. So it was time to get rid of them. I still have a few 21s, a beater for hunting, a TRAP Grade that was shipped from Winchester on the day I was born, and one of the few Pigeon Grades from the Custom Shop.


Bravo. Anything that makes one happy is highly commendable. Happy folks usually have longer more fulfilling lifespans.
