Went to the marina today to start getting the boats ready for winter and passed by a yard sale that looked interesting, so I turned around and found these to gems for sale. Gave $45.00 for the Firearms International wire frame .22 single shot varmint rifle,

Looked up that .22. Firearms International of Washington DC. became Garcia. The 22. ...from what I see in the Standard Catalog of Firearms....is a Garcia Bronco. They made a 22 LR and a 22 Magnum and a 410 version. Introduced in 1968 and discontinued in 1978. Built in the USA.

In 2010 the values show VG $225, Good $125, Fair $90.

Now that model 12 is a really good buy. It could be worth , in standard grade three times what you paid for it...and maybe lots more depending on the particulars. ...at least according to what I'm seeing in the book.
