Sometimes it pays to go to the small shows. I went to a small show in Broken Arrow, Ok. I met a man who was carrying an 8 lb. jug of Universal Clays powder, still sealed. I asked him what he wanted for it and he said, "75 bucks." Before I could say I'll take it, he said "And I have another one in the truck."
So now I have a lifetime supply of powder, because I was already well stocked and didn't really need it, but who in their right mind would pass on that?
Anyway, the main subject of this thread is the tapered barrel model 64 that this gentleman brought in. I asked him what he was selling and he said he had a stainless model 10. Again,. I graciously explained that it had to be nickeled or had been hard chromed, and he said "Well, that's possible, it was dads. I didn't have much interest by this point and was about to walk away when he asked if I would be interested in it for $250? I almost tore an ACL trying to turn back around to tell him to pull it out of the case so I could look at it. He pulled it out and I handed him $250 before it could draw a crowd. As I was walking away, my buddy asks to see it, and then takes the zip tie that was holding the cylinder closed and says, "This isn't a model 10, it's a 64 no dash." It looked so good, I didn't even bother to open the cylinder (I know, duh, I'm an idiot.) Can anyone tell me what this is actually worth and perhaps a ship date or Dom? I would rate condition a conservative 98%.
