nice pair. enjoy

 

[arcticap]

They're beauts!
Are you going to shoot 1 or both of them?
How much did they set you back?

 

[Shane1858]

Gorgeous. Congratulations!

 

[Thernlund]

Those are awesome.

Congrats!

Plans are to shoot one and keep the other one back. The price for the pair in a case was a steal at $725.00. Wish I had more to spend as he also had a cased second generation 1851 for $399.00. As you can see , this was the best buy as there were only 1596 of these made from January - April 1982.
serial numbers put these around the end of March.

Unturned?

 

[Thernlund]

Unturned?

Means the cyliders have not been turned/rotated. I.E. there is no turn line around them.

[HUnter58]

Unturned . hammer has not been in the cocked position since leaving the factory. Original owner purchased new , put them in a case and left them
alone.

You should be ashamed of yourself of taking advantage of the poor seller. I think you should give them to me to help heal your guilt.

 

[HUnter58]

I looked at these at 8:00 AM when I first arrived there. Wanting to look around before I was to purchase anything I moved on. I was surprised when I returned around 3:00PM and these were still there. After a brief discussion with the seller, I was informed these had gotten a lot of attention, I decided it was meant for me to take these home, and I did.

HUnter 58, you are the luckiest man I know.

 

[Voodoochile]

HUnter 58, you are the luckiest man I know.

I'll second that.

Man I wish I had your luck.
Congrats on a wonderful buy.

 

[scrat]

OMG you sure are lucky. That is so amazing. I would love to have them. In fact everyone would love to have them. WOW what a find.

 

[RoaringBull]

I sure do need to get some revolvers. They do look like a lot of fun

 

[wyocarp]

[scrat]

[redraidermgr]

Beautiful set there Hunter, Congrats on the good deal and enjoy them.

 

[sundance44s]

What a nice deal ..I`m jealous !

 

[arcticap]

Gee, I don't know which is worse...the fact that you walked away only to later find that they were still unsold or that you bought them for such a good price during these "inflationary" times!
Congratulations. You must have had the "Angel of Let's Make a Deal" looking out for you that day!
