I was at a gun show in Montgomery this past weekend and ever watchful for good single actions I came upon a table that had what I first thought were Colts. Upon closer inspection I see that they are AWA Great Western revolvers. The were stamped AWA and PeaceKeeper on the gun. They looked great. Nice color case hardening, good blue, 5.5 inch barrels and the very close copy of the Colt black rubber grips. Although I didn't see boxes for them, they appeared unfired. The owner told me they were "poor man's,Colts". There were two .357's and two 45LC's. The owner was asking $899 each. I thought that to be a bit high for what I think was an Italian clone. The owner told me that Colt sued them for copy right infringement and forced the company to close back in the early 2000's. Anyone have experience witht the AWA revolver? I'm kinda familiar with the GWA pieces and wonder how they compare from a "what are they worth" standpoint.
