If anyone wants to buy me an early Christmas gift...

[Mike Irwin]

This would certainly qualify!

I don't think I've ever seen a one of these in anything even remotely approaching a condition this fine.

And the box is just the icing on the cake!

I love this line from the box...

"The cartridges for these pistols are reloadable. Simple and convenient reloading tools furnished to order; also primers."

And, it looks as if they were practicing "germanic capitalization" back then, as well. GGGGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Lots of luck.
If I could afford that one, it would be heading my way.

Purdy lil' thang ain't she?

 

[lee n. field]

My usual rule is, "if you got it, shoot it". This?

 

[Mike Irwin]

Nope. This one is pure collector fodder. I'd likely never buy it because of that.

 

[sgms]

At that price I will remain with the ugly step-sister I already have, but she really is very good looking.

 

[gbclarkson]

This item I would only buy in bulk at lower prices. Sorry...

 

[CajunBass]

Well! So much for the surprise.

Maybe next year...

 

[lamarw]

Very nice, but remember it is better to give than to receive.

I have a lot I never shoot. Remember a Credit card is your friend.

No they aren't,,,

Remember a Credit card is your friend.

No they aren't,,,
They are evil!

There's a S&W Model 45 on GunBroker,,,
I have a clean credit card that I keep for emergencies.

I could use it to get my "grail gun",,,
But I know that as soon as I did,,,
A real emergency would arise.

No, guns on credit is a black hole waiting to happen.

Or not,,,
It's just my opinion.

Remember, it's not about having what you want, it's about wanting what you have.

Probably doesn't help though, does it?

 

[FrankenMauser]

Something about that box just keeps screaming to me, "FORGERY!!!!"

Don't know what, really, but it doesn't 'feel' right...

Seems a bit excessive. I bought mine on GB about 2 1/2 mos. ago for $950.00 on a buy-it-now.

 

[peggysue]

Life is short. That is a beautiful pristine revolver. It is only money.
Ive got a whole passel of H&R and Iver Johnson break-tops I have never shot because they are so damn neat.

Hello gyvel,,,

You own a S&W Model 45?

I am green with envy.

I bought mine on GB about 2 1/2 mos. ago for $950.00 on a buy-it-now.

Now you're just rubbing it in.

But seriously,,,
I could have purchased a nice one back in 2010,,,
It went in a Buy It Now for (I think) $675.00.

I hesitated at the crucial moment and lost out in the bidding spree.

I might pay the $1,495.00 that they are asking if I had it in disposable cash.

But I can't justify putting even a third of that on plastic.

There lies Madness!

A credit card is very much like a gun.

In responsible hands and used properly, a credit card can be a very useful, even lifesaving, tool.

Used improperly, they can wreak havoc.
