I got this in a yard sale yesterday. I think it is too pretty to use. The owner must have thought so too. He never used it.

no,,,,, you gotta hook up the Fitch attachment.
too bad you couldn't get the gun the kit come with, I'm thinking it should have been a British SxS.
An old friend, recently passed, habitually referred to Abercrombie & Fitch as "Abercrombie & Overprice."

To the right person that would be worth a fair amount. Way to collectable to use.

I never could understand people who buy stuff that was meant to be used then just put it up to look at. if ya ain't gonna use it, it's worthless & ya might as well just have a 'pitcher' of a cleanin' kit as it would be just as useful & take up much less space. but, to each his own I guess.
I think A&F was pretty much always a marketing company, much like what Browning is today. That set doesn't look quite like one of their "best quality" items, but it surely isn't "run of the mill," either! Very nice set, but I'm the type of guy who won't have anything I can't use. If it were mine, I'd just use it, and enjoy it's somewhat "upper crust" quality. That's just me, of course, and I'm not entirely sure of its real value in dollars, so .... it might be worth investigating, at least? Wish I could give a better and more informed opinion.
That set is way too nice to use. Totally a collector item. I remember going to the "Gun Room" at A&F in Chicago in the early '60s. It was awesome!
Probably an old well meaning Christmas present he put away, figuring he would use it when his old one wore out. It never did, apparently.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
Aberchrombie made quality items then. I bought a a/f ww2 era rucksack recently and just love it.
Fwiw, I'd use the cleaning kitt
Life is so much better with dogs!
I would bet that is an old piece of gear.
You can miss fast & you can miss a lot, but only hits count.
