And without even following your link, I'll bet that sellars is einnic or something, with stupid prices and the guns are imports with proofmarks on barrels or frames.
Not interested in those or those stupid prices.

I can see this tread having some real potential along with some much needed schooling.
As there is nothing on TV but POTUS bashing, I'm going to get out the Jiffy Pop and open a cold one and see where this ends up
The 66-1 is fairly common. I picked up three last night.
Like I said,
As a general rule of thumb.
Geesh, if there so common, then ask that buyer.

This forum is like a pack of hyenas, just waiting to pounce on an opinion.
I was warned about this hole, now its come true.
Didnt even make 100 posts.
Nice way to treat new members, mods your a joke. Sells adds though, right.

I've got a 57-1 that I used to think was run of the mill, but now I'm startn ta think I might need to send it off to GB!
Skwirl, check your Private messages.
Sorry your feelings got hurt. However, you asked for opinions on your OP and they are handed out freely in any forum.
Other than politicians, you won't find a more opinionated bunch than gun nuts. I Have been on the other Smith forum and it is the same there.
As for the rarity of dash 1 guns, there are exceptions to almost everything Smith. Also, were you to hang around and do some research on older threads, you would see that the assertion 'about -1 rarity is not the only error in the SCSW.
It takes fairly thick hide to exchange opinions with gun nuts. Hope you stick around.
Without talking to the two bidders who ran the price so high, who knows why it went so high. The description stated the gun was a consignment. Maybe there was a very sentimental reason why two guys wanted the same gun. Might it have belonged to their father who passed away and their mother was selling it?
None of us here will likely ever know the answer. But who really cares? Doesn't much matter to me if a gun sells for 12 cents or 12 thousand dollars. Someone wanted it and bought it for a price they were willing to pay. Yes, it certainly can be used as a point of education on a forum such as this, and that's a good thing. But, good grief, it really does not have to turn into a whizzing match.

Game on
You opined that a 66-1 was rare and likened it to the 1960-61 dash one variations of the blued steel revolvers at which time there was a brief period of time where the threads were changed on the ejector rod yet the fourth screw was maintained. That comparison simply does not apply to the stainless series of Smiths. This was gently pointed out to you several times and you suddenly blew a gasket, insulted the members and the moderators and opened yourself up to some well deserved ridicule (which you have not gotten by the way). I'll say it again for you, the 66-1 is not a rare gun. The 14-1, 19-1, 28-1, 27-1, 15-1, 18-1, 17-1, ans so forth ARE scarce. The 66-1, 67-1, 65-1 are NOT scarce.
The 66 made a subject of this post went for a crazy insane price which is totally unwarranted regardless of whether it was a 66 or a 66-1. I had a 66-1 that I sold recently for $700 with box and tools. Quite frankly, I would rather have a 66.
Oh and it's "you're" not "your" when you're calling the moderators a joke

Extremely rare indeed. What, maybe 8-10 years before S&W's first production SS revolver hit dealer's shelves??? And that was an M60 IIRC...A 1961-1962 Model 66-1 would be extremely rare!
IMO, your post is more of a profound statement than an opinion. But regardless, is incorrect. I'm sorry if you don't like it here but learning about S&W's (from some fine and knowledgeable folks) is my main stay here.

If he thinks this place is offensive wait till he misses a four footer or hits one in the pond.
Golf is no game for snowflakes.
Now you just stop with those mean and thoughtless comments. I'm offended
