If I am reading the completed auctions correctly, the last two blued NIB Model 59 pistols on GB sold for $1,200 each. There is a definite premium market out there for 1st Gen S&W pistols in very high (ideally unfired in original factory box w/everything) condition. You may not be prizing them, but someone else out there obviously is.

Now there you've got the advantage on me because I know absolutely nothing about beater range guns.
I don't own a single one.
Dear old Dad (R.I.P.) would turn over in his grave if I ever even
talked about a Smith & Wesson firearm that way, let alone owned one.
I may be missing a lot of fun, but I don't want dear old Dad coming back from the grave to haunt me.
