"Also, I should note, that I tend to value my slightly beat up Ropers a bit higher then I think anyone would be willing to pay. Since I like well used guns, well used Ropers are my preference. I find most people want nicer examples then I do. Getting me to part with a set of non-thumb rest Ropers at this time would be quite a feat."

The slightly beat up look is what I think is the most appealing. Even in the photos one can see the deep rich patina that only age can create. I can only imagine how beautiful they would be in hand in natural light. The "half target," holster and terrific grips make this a beautiful combo. Thanks for sharing.
