I know, it's probably an odd title for a topic, but my wife recently found an old Sears and Roebuck catalog from 1908 and I thought I would scan some of the pages of the more recognizable iconic guns for your entertainment.
I was really surprised to see Sears was selling the Luger automatic, though in all fairness, this WAS before World War 1 was declared.
My great grandfather killed a man with a 25-20 he bought from Montgomery wards during this time, so this last page with the Marlin 1894's is a little special to me. It's also the first rifle that I ever shot, and my Uncle still owns it to this day.
