Double R has it about right. That thing was out in the mid to late 50's and probably didn't sell too well cause that was a lot of money then. Ten bucks?? Heck I bought my first Colt SAA 38-40 in 1958 for 15 bucks...and to me it looked like new(was actually about 60-70%). Find the right person for that contraption and I think you will be surprised at the value now...especially in the box like that. Real nice...real nice!! By the way...I was pretty young in 1958
