Gentlemen,
Came across a 66-5 w/original box/papers, condition 90% (w/scratches), is this model with MIM hammer/trigger/internals, considered a "buy" for under $900.00? (A concern is removing the scratches, as I have no experience and worry about making it worse). Seems the model 66-5 & 66-6, are not as desirable to due to the MIM parts & lock (66-6). But the price seems attractive as I have seen most 66 3" (w/box/papers) go for well over 1K on GB. Or would a 66-3 3", no box/papers, but in 99% condition (forged parts), for about the same cost be a better buy?
Gun would not be so much for shooting, more for collecting.
Wondering which is more a priority in event resale becomes necessary in the future, gun/box/papers or the gun/quality? Unfortunately, cannot afford both at the same time.
Appreciate any feed back.
