Hugh,

About 3 months ago a woman came in the shop where I work with an old cardboard box. She said that she was cleaning out her Grandfather's house after he had passed on, and found these.

She wanted to know if they were worth anything. She said that her neighbor had offered her $175 for them. We looked in the box and found a pair of Colt Bisley's in 38-40, each in an old wool sock. They were in about 85-90% condition and were 4 serial numbers apart. I think they were made in 1902, if I recall correctly.

We assured her that they were worth much more than $175. Joe offered to buy them at a fair price, but she hasn't been back.

I didn't know that you like Colt SAs or I would have tried to get contact info.

Kind of made my jaws ache.

Ron
