Doug (alanint) hits the old nail right on the head. To get a desirable Colt SAA would require (1)patience, (2) much money, and (3) perusing the auction catalogs, because these items are coming up on estate auctions when the collector "buys the farm", so to speak. I suppose it's more likely (maybe slightly) for a "walk in" at a gun show to bring a desirable rare luger, but hope springs eternal. The whole point here was whether this presentation 1906 luger was worth $50,000 and I was simply saying it's in the eyes of the beholder. There is no question in my mind that it is fully priced at this time, but down the road, when Obama inflation takes firm hold, who knows. It may look cheap then!
