I think it's OK to mention the location. Links to live auctions are not allowed but OK to state where they are for sale.

Interesting story on the cheaper (hah!) one. I bet the guy in this picture (with the hat) is the original owner:

One thing that I noticed in the letters of these 2 Registered Magnums was the different ammo that was used to sight them in. The higher priced one used .357 magnum ammo and the lower priced one used.38 S&W Special mid range ammo. Is this something that the buyer could request or was there another reason to use different ammo? Also, Buda, TX must be a hot bed for the Registered Magnums!!

These guns were made to order and the buyer requested the type ammo and the sight hold to be used.

Here is Gen. George Patton's order slip for his Registered Magnum:

I saw in an article earlier today that you could request to have them sighted in up to 200 yards. Holy mackerel.
