| What a bargain!
When you think of what gov't paid for that M2 and how much use it must have gotten in the last 94 years, it has proven to be a real bargain for the taxpayer.

Technically, it couldn't be 94 years old because the M2 wasn't adopted until 1933. The M2 evolved from the earlier M1921 design.
