Francis, that's what I mean about looking through the rocks to find the gold nugget.
Some time ago I posted pictures without comment of a very nice little gun. I happened to know the gun was completely redone and that it was sold first for $14,000, then returned when the buyer and others found refinishing indications. A realistic price would have been $8,000. The seller next sold the gun for $17,000 to a new gun dealer and said it was unshot original. I looked at gun on the new dealers table, he had $22,000 on it and said he was new to Parkers and wanted to start dealing in them because thats where the money was. He was right, that's where the money was. Be careful out there. As stated on the old mariner's charts, " there be dragons."
