I don't think they have much value at all. I never bought a single copy. Used to read them for free in a book store in winter month's
when the weather was bad. Never knowing at that time that most of the articles were written by Parker gun asso. or the Fox Collectors asso. members and so forth.
After getting to know many of them by going to Hausmann's Hidden Hollow I along with many others realized that these were run of the mill guys writing
''Professional '' articles. Once that word got out , a lot of people stopped buying or subscribing to the Journal. This was the beginning of the end for it.
I was given most of the set of the journal some years back, and still find them enjoyable reading and now recognize most of the authors names.
