I'm with the rest of you - this seems like a pretty stiff price - especially their projected value. But, there are fools with more money than brains. Just imagine though, if somebody did have some "spare original parts" laying around in their parts box . . . only to never know what they fit? I'm with the others on this one . . . leave it as it is and don't try to put "new" old parts on her . . she's earned every nick and dent she's got. 
Thanks for posting those prices. I guess what it boils down to is "supply and demand" like anything else. A lot pf pieces have been bought and sold over the years on the collector's market. I can remember pieces that I saw when I first started collecting close to 50 years ago that I knew the individuals who had them in their private collections - years later they'd "surface" (usually after the collector died and his collection was being liquidated) and a whole new generation of collectors would go "wow - what a find". I have collected many items that I originally bought cheap or very reasonable and years laer, when I sold them, was amazed at what an individual would pay for them - I guess you call it inflation? At any rate, when I see a revolver like you are talking about of the other originals that are pictured here, my mind doesn't so much focus on "value" - I look at the "imperfections" and just wish that the piece could talk and tell us what its life was like and where ti traveled. I know I'll never be able to affore an original S & B, but I have to tell you that the several threads that have been on here lately have sure peaked my interest to "add one to my herd" - a repro that I can put my own nicks and scratches on that someone a 150 yers from now might marvel at. Thanks for sharing this with us - it's been very educational and interesting! Kindest regards!
