1982 World's Fair Renegade Information?

[selvinman]

Fellows I picked up a Thompson Center Renegade with the barrel marked "The 1982 World's fair Knoxville, Tenn U.S.A. 966 of 1982". Any information and approximate value would be greatly appreciated. The metal is 98%. The bore is pristine. The stock has surface scratches and one deeper scratch about 3 inches long no cracks or missing chips etc. I would rate it overall at 90%. It has been shot and obviously carried in the field. Naturally it is a percussion rifle.

First I've heard of one.
My guess is they're a promo for the event by and for the event it'self. :idunno:

What did you pay?

 

Ron,
It's nobody's business what you paid! What I want to know is, where did you find the stamp to put on the barrel :rotf:. I have never seen, or heard, of a TC marked like that. Obviously it was a special run made for the event.

There was one for sale on Auction Arms a few weeks ago. That one also included a belt knife and tomahawk marked to match as well. Do a google search on "worlds fair renegade" and it will take you right to it.

Hey Mark, Never know what you'll turn up in a pawn shop in Myrtle Beach, SC. Pretty proud of it right now but then I haven't shot it. :idunno: :idunno: I guess time will tell???

A big thank you to all who have responded so far any more information out there I will appreciate it. :grin:

Just asking about price, because i'm selling a Renegade, and wanted to see if my price was fair.



Papa... :blah:

 

Capper,
Not a problem here, just sounded a bit nosey. Post it and you will find out soon enough where your price puts it.
Mark :hatsoff:

It's not that important. It was just a question. Most guys post what they pay for rods they buy.
