Guys,

In the '60s you could get a pistol reblued for maybe $30-$35 or so. Of course you could buy them brand new for maybe $80 or so (brand new 1911A1s or SAAs). Lugers could be had for $40-50, but who wanted old foreign guns then. I wish I had bought a barrel full of Colt SAAs to resell today (or maybe tomorrow).

I had a number of 1911s reblued because they were worn GIs and I didn't want my guns to look like that, not necessarily because it was economical.
