Yes, both '56 Kodiak's are RH/LH and one Bearcat is a lefty...sure wish there were more LH shooters in the 50's and 60's...or I was a righty

Out of curiosity, how much is something like that worth? I am new to the collecting game.
Thanks.

Roy,

The 1952 Kodiak I purchased from your checkbook-draining haul arrived today, in fine shape.

It looks great and I am very well pleased. Thanks. It's been a pleasure doing business with you.

If you decide to let go of that 63 Magnum, keep me in mind.

Sounds interesting, post a pic when you get it done. I'd still be interested if you decide to let it go.

Yeah, that looks like a Type II '63 Magnum.  If it had been a Type III it probably would have been solid.
