Newbie from SC

Evening folks,

I'm just a newbie here looking to learn. My grandfather had a 1016 that he wore every day from when he bought it in 1960 until the day he died in 1980. I always wanted it but my father sold it in 1996. So im on a hunt for one like his when my finances are in order as they've gone up quite alot in price from what I remember 5 or so years ago.

Anyways, thanks for having me!
