Come to think of it, it would be real hard to spend that much money when I could get a new Colt SAA for about $700 less.
But a new Colt would not have the quality of a USFA produced firearm. I would pay $1,800 for the Remington. I would just get a big jar, put $50 into the jar every pay day, and after two years I would have enough to buy the Remington plus some ivory grips from Paul Persinger. Isn't this what people used to do when they wanted to buy something expensive?

Maybe I should start saving money for a Merwin Hulbert, in case they ever do get into production.
