walked into a little gun store/pawn shop in a small NW Louisiana town last week. They had a wonderfully mismatched LP08 (ever seen a 1914 LP08 with a byf toggle and no 2 external pieces matching?). $2,500.00. I spotted a 97%+ Colt Woodsman 2nd series, S suffix, for $165.00 with PERFECT Coltwood grips (sadly, it had come into the store in the box, but the owner had tossed it out. I did get the manual).

Call me snobbish. I had almost said something about the LP08's price, until I considered just what I was filling out the yellow sheet for.

Then again, someday's that's me selling treasures for pebbles and asking nuggets for trash.
