I bought my 2nd Generation new, in 1974, for $217. The only thing I regret is throwing away the shopworn Stagecoach box it came in. (I did keep the paperwork, though.)
Still have my box.

I actually shot it very little. It's still in mint condition. The only change I made was to replace the original eagle grips with one-piece walnut. But of course I kept the eagle grips with the gun. (There's a locating pin for the two-piece grips that has to be removed in order to install one-piece grips.)you shot it, enjoyed it, slept with it under your pillow!!! then call yourself a lucky man with a good life
The Stagecoach boxes, in good condition, are worth at least $300. The reproduction boxes were selling for $200.Still have my box.
Indeed, I've known a good handful of old REAL cowboys. For the most part they are single,very rough around the edges and broken down physically. I have personally grown up on the back of a horse, been rearranged a few times and have constant back pain from injuries caused by a hayburner. Now they use those 4 wheel motor cycle things and aircraft to do roundups but its still a hard way to make a living.Oh sure! Tell him all the good stuff! Why any young buck wouldn’t want to cowboy is beyond me. Continuing to cowboy? Well, there’s the rub.

In our family we still do things the old way… at least roundups for the most part. Although we’re geofencing. One of my cousins and his boy avoid even tractors when they can, still use draft horses for winter feeding. Horses have been a cause of lots of pain and joy over the years. There’s nothing like being aboard a good horse with a good rifle in wild country.Indeed, I've known a good handful of old REAL cowboys.

I like your persecutive on Colt and Horses. Guess I’m borderline crazy too and I’m always working on myself!I have an SAA I bought in the '70s and I had several horses over the decades. I don't care much for either. The SAA constantly needs work when I shoot it much and I never saw or rode a horse that wasn't borderline crazy.
I'll take a Ruger Blackhawk or Vaquero and a Honda 4-wheeler over both the Colt and the horse.
