I was admiring the gun listed here. www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=267441559Noticed the serial number and thought, "Hey, that's similar to my 45 Sheriff's Model". Sure enough, it is similar....2017 versus 2071. Interesting, I thought. Then, I realized that the number is EXACTLY the same, prefix notwithstanding, as that on one of my 44 Sheriff's Sevilles. I guess that's a sign for me to bid.   |

That is way cool! I have this one on my watch list, but I'll not be bidding. Hope you get it!

Hard to beat that description....talk about up-selling a gun. I love Sevilles, but I think I would've toned down the overview a little. -Lee www.singleactions.com |

Yeah....and the seller is a bit confused, I think. He has similar flowery language for a couple of Abilenes that he has listed.

Ouch...it's at $1,250.00 and I expect with 10+ hrs to go it's going to go a bit higher.

Way high in my opinion. I've bought 4 just like it in the past 18 months and never paid over $850. -Lee www.singleactions.com |

I expect the bidder PM57 to go up another notch. I noticed that he bid big and won the 375 SuperMag and 41 mag Silhouette versions a couple weeks ago.
I'm gonna call the seller to see if I can persuade him to have the winner contact me about a trade...serial number for serial number.
If I thought I could get 1250 a pop for each of mine I'd sell them all today in one fell swoop.

I believe you will see them start to go for this kind of money from now on. Possibly more.

I like the way the seller referenced Lee's site for more info. Reminds me of the time I found a beautiful boxed Ruger Old Model "Magnum-Only" Single-Six (RSSM) at a local gun show, and as proof of the sixgun's rarity the dealer had printed-out Bill Hamm's Gunblast article: www.gunblast.com/Hamm_MagnumOnly_SingleSix.htmHoisted with my own petard, as it were! Anyway........I like to see my collection's value appreciate by leaps and bounds. |

If you take the leap and get started I'll sign up as one of your first customers! I need two, one 13X7 and one 15X7 both with artificial sheerling fleece lining. PM me when you're ready to get started!
