Congratulations John....Junk..no never junk.....! They were just in need of a lick of paint and someone that understood them to give them a new lease of life....

Hi OzDigger, I would expect TGM ,as they do in other instances, do like W Britains has done to the recent 88, and provide additional garrison figure offerings....and the customer can either purchase them to be as close as possible of the original setting of a working gun or not...hence the...
