Truly a fascinating story and a truly historic pistol. At its most basic, it's nothing more than a mismatched shooter. But, unlike every other mismatched shooter you see on the interweb, just try to replace this one.
As any collector of anything knows, the price paid doesn't just reflect market value, it reflects personal value. I've paid a bit much for several items just because I really wanted them or because their value to me was worth more than a dollar amount.
Overall, a cool find. Does anyone know of the other examples? Do they still exist?
