personally, I don't care what name is stamped on it. Unless it's a limited edition, full of gold, silver and jewelling, it's just an old gun.
I think most of the stuff on GB is ridiculously over-priced regardless of what it is or who made it. Suply and demand, I guess... a 1st generation Colt SAA is only worth over 10 grand bcuz people will pay it... and because(from what I've heard) their currently made products are crap. Oh well, If I had money I'd buy one just to resell it later to some collector who's willing to drop a small fortune on a corroded hunk of metal.
Besides, what good is a gun that can't be fired? It's like paying the same thousands and thousands of dollars for an antique BP pistol that I can't shoot... why? I can pay just a couple hundred for a MODERN BP pistol that I CAN shoot.
Collectors... you people amaze me. If I can't shoot it, it better be really special. Just being old and having a certain name attached isn't going to cut it.
