Congratulations on a sweet deal! Had a similar experience a week ago. Traded my $380 polymer Ruger LCR for a 1967 Ruger unconverted 3-screw Blackhawk SA in mint condition. Young guy said it was his grandpa's gun and admitted he was more of a "Glock guy." No kidding.

Makes me think I should always have an inexpensive black semiauto on hand for trading with these guys when the opportunity arises.
