OK, let's all chip in. I have a really nice gun safe, so it can stay here and you all can come visit your gift to me investment anytime.

With a week's notice that is . . . .

I seem to recall the History Channel's show said that the initial gun was destroyed after the trials.  Which gun was used against the 1911?  I thought there were only two produced.

I also thought on the History Channel they showed a guy reproducing them by hand.  Wonder if his business is still going?

I recall hearing the same thing, only 2 produced and the last time the surviving one was auctioned it went for 9 Mil,
The other one was lost to history, but presumed destroyed in testing.
