Colt Commemoratives Crash

[CraigC]

I agree they make nice shooters. I have that one and the Legendary Lawmen I just wanted a nice 94 thuddy thuddy and it's a purdy one.
The price for the ammo nowadays is silly but I had to have a box.View attachment 1115832

I should've gotten a box or two when I got the rifle. Now they're all nuts!

Hello Mark_Mark,

I bought 3 boxes of those John Wayne 32-40's maybe 30 years ago, paid $6 a box.
I thought that was an outrageous price back then.

$6 a box …30 years ago, is EXPENSIVE

Brought home the Colt Special Samuel Edition today. It’s pretty, it’s a 1964 Gen 2, unfired….

why would anybody sell this bad boy for $1400… it’s PRETTY!

Photos after I give him a good cleaning

10 years or so ago I missed out on an 45 Colt single action for $650 that was embellished with gold accents. I wasn't fond of the gold but at that price I could have shot it w/o worrying about hurting the value.

Still think this is a GOOD LOOKING 1969 Colt bling gun! Would be great to teach my kids about Colt SAA with this .22

what you guys think… offer $550?

 

[hawg]

Pretty good deal. I'd paint over the gold if it was mine tho. A Krylon blue job.

everyone gold plated guns in the 60’s and 70’s. Probably was classy back then.

Shag Carpet and a Gold Colt, I was born in the wrong decades

everything soft and fluffy is PITA

 

[Seedy Character]

Buy it!

 

[Mark_Mark]

Buy it!

I’m still trying to get the Colt SAA montana out of Layaway. One Colt Pimp gun at a time. Commemoratives are like a time machine. People put them away thinking of investment… NOPE! now they are becoming SHOOTERS!

Mark, I was around and buying guns in the 1970s. Most serious gun people thought these guns were silly and ugly. I knew a number of gun shop owners and was told Colt made dealers accept a certain number of commeratives to get the other Colts they wanted to sell. I would see those things setting on the shelves of those shops for weeks if not months. The longer they set the more the prices dropped.
