As I posted above several days ago, here's what we know at this point:

There have been some several HE's sold in the $50K-$85K range the last 30+ years. Only 2 or maybe 3 have exceeded $100k, i.e. Elvis Presley's 2-1/2" Model 19-2, which sold at Rock Island Auction a couple years ago for $192,500. A Kornbrath signed and gold-inlaid K22 Outdoorsman sold for $150,000 quite a while back, I don't remember for certain if that sale was pre- or post- year 2000. In the back of my head is a vague memory of another $100K-plus gun, but the details regarding that are floating in the mists of too many guns gone by. As far as most S&W collectors that I am familiar with are aware of, Elvis' 19-2 is the highest price HE sold to date.
