I sold a gun that I should have kept.
Elmer Keith Deluxe Edition 29-3 .44 Magnum EMK0013.
Sold it at a gun show in North Texas for $1,000 a few years back. It had the box with it, but think the wrong presentation case.
$1,000 was probably OK for non-deluxe version. SCSW 4th says 2X to 3X for the deluxe gun.
Did not know what I had.
The gun originally belonged to my dad, also David Reynolds.
He had a gun store in Dallas, Texas and was friends with Roy Jinks.
My dad's favorite number was 13.
Roy Jinks collected number 13 guns.
Occasionally S&W guns came out that Roy could not buy or did not want.
Twice he offered those guns to my dad. One was the 1st 645 model and the other was the Keith Commemorative.
Elmer Keith was one of my dad's heroes.
Roy Jinks was one of my dad's heroes.
Hard to believe that I thought selling this gun was a good idea.

The reason I am posting about this now is that I saw the gun for sale online today. They are asking $4500. Pretty sure that is too much. It especially hurts considering what I sold it for. What do y'all think would be a fair price for the gun?
