Hiya, I-M. Love to see and read about things like this.
Years ago I got hold of a Md 1873, there were quite a few around at that time but it was in poor condition. Never fired it because of that and traded it away for something I can’t even remember. Wish I still had it. :)
Me too. I recall reading a couple of years ago that a fine cased specimen one of Sam Colt's first revolvers, the 1836 Paterson, went for over $950,000.
The universal gun owner's lament.
