Meanwhile, back on the original topic....
I couldn't find a link to that particular lot but I would think the collection might be pretty interesting if it came with a story of it's life. " John Bird bought was a ranch and and cowboy who live in Wyoming. He carried it every day until he died in 19XX. Always kept it handy to deal with two and four legged varmints." Or, "owner was a gambler in Arizona who died from ________ in 1890." In other words, they are more than just worn out revolvers, there is a story that explains how they got worn out. There has always been a tremendous amount of romance about the west and I can't imagine a collection of shootin irons that tell stories of the men (or women) carried them every day.
