I also followed the auction with interest in the hopes that in the last few minutes it would not get priced out of my comfort zone. My guess going in was that your revolver would go for a minimum of $2250 and perhaps as much as a thousand more depending on collector competition. So at just under $3000 you did very well -- and the rest of us got a market-determined answer to the question of what the other light-lug guns might sell for when they turn up.
Thanks for letting us watch as you found out about that rare gun. We learned too. This forum is a great university.
