It’s very clean. Doesn’t look like it’s been shot. John built it in the nineties.

Thanks a lot. Thought I'd fly under the radar on that one. Maybe nobody will see it. I thought. Maybe that big bore will slow the bidding. I thought. I should know better by now.

That sure looks like one that was for sale at a LGS here a few years back. Notice the space between the frame and grip frame on the left side? Plus the nice plumb color. Someone put those altmont ( I think) grips on it. I had considered buying it at the time and called John and talked to him about it. I could have bought for half of what it just sold for but it wasn't quite what I wanted at the time. A local guy and forum member here bought it, shot it while his was getting made by John then sold it on GB. If this is not the same gun it's its twin.

Well, the claim that it has been "test shot only" is a flat out lie, lol... I shot it a fair bit. That said, I can attest that it was in beautiful shape, well cared for, and bank vault tight when it left my possession. But I would never imagine it would have sold for what it apparently just did. Wow! I acquired it from the gentleman about 8 hours due south of here. Never occurred to me (or maybe I just don't recall if such was stated to me when I acquired it) that it might have also been one of those two which resided in the LGS 20 years ago. I do recall that John told me he originally made it for Fox Firearms a few decades ago. Small world indeed! Edit: I'll add that the cylinder bores on that one are very nice; chambers a tiny bit longer, and throat diameters more consistent than on the one John built me to replace it. It has a beautiful target crown too.

I guess it's all about timing on these sales....
I can't believe it went that high.
There's also another one getting ready to sell high I fear....

Guess I'll hang on to my brass bisley from John awhile longer.
