You’ve got to know...I’ve had several responses just like yours.
And I’m not thinking about selling it.
First: Dad gave it to me. While he’s still alive. He knew I thought it was beautiful. I’ll inherit all of his guns, but he gave me this one because he knew I admired it.
Second: They just don’t make ‘em like this anymore. I’ve got maybe 30 guns...handguns and rifles. And this is just somehow special...as a machine.
Third: This thing has a personality! It’s not just a gun. I’ve got AK’s, AR’s...all painted up and camo’d, etc. But this thing has a “weight” all on its own.
But the comments here are terrific! And yours (as well as others) speaks to my point. I don’t mean to sell it. But I’d like to know what it’s worth.
Thanks...
They are unique, and like many classic firearms, we will never seem them duplicated.
I’m a big revolver fan, here is a thread I posted about my “gangster era” Colts and Smiths.
