Not rare at all. I have one in 8.15X46 1/2R I believe.

what is the price range on these? in Euros is fine they were asking $1k just wanted to see if any meat left on the bone at that price thanks

[ellenbr]

I guess would be asking prices from $800(& 800 Euros) to $1400 U.S. of A. I'd say depends on condition & calibre.

Here is some more info from a 1937 prospectus. Can send you a high resolution scan if you wish.

I had the catalog for these, but sent it to Rob Mouat of Cornell Publications. They now offer a quality reprint of that which details available options, and offer the reprints both from their website and from eBay, if you want a copy.
