It was a cheaper offering years ago over the SAA. I see them going for stupid money nowadays and the auctions do have bidders and followers so it's not just ''asking $$$ for ....
I picked one up dirt cheap years ago, 4 3/4 one just to shoot, then I had someone offer me a old style Vaquaro for $200 so I bought that. Ran a couple boxes through each, the Colt actually shot pretty dang good and to POA. I then got a Ruger SRH in .454 and just put both of them up.
Every once in awhile I'd look up selling prices and they were always around the same ballpark but lately they have climbed to over double what they used to sell for.
Why?
