I really like the 59. There is something about the 1st production model of a gun that appeals to me. I saw one today in my LGS with box, papers, 2 mags and in 95% condition.. hardly ever fired for $399. I may offer him $350 for it.
I bought a NIB Nickel Unfired with all the original "stuff" including the vapor barrier paper for mags. I bought it as an investment to keep in same unfired condition for $500. Now I know some think that is really high but I got it in a 3 gun deal with (2) unfired 29-2 .44 mags that I practically stole. So I look at the whole package as a good deal. Anyway I think the 59's will only keep going up as long as the unfired or barely fired ones get scarcer.
