Wow

Great find. There was a rust bucket on GB several years ago that went for big bucks
Sent some simple pics of mine

I’ll have better ones soon as I’ll be listing it

But. I’ll ask more than 250

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.

Yeah you and I were on the phone at one point

I didn’t remember the final total, I dropped out a little after 8k

Yep that was a straight gripped gun and only had surface rust on it. It cleaned up nicely, but boy were the pictures bad
