Right Rick, and I visited that shop in southern NH where it was consigned by a lady who said she’d be happy to get $350.00
I examined the gun and determined it was only coveres by thin rust dust and told the shop owner it would easily bring over $7k. He doubled me but it did clean up extremely nicely with about 90% original case color and 95% barrel blue and sold for over $10k.
