RIAC makes its realized prices/hammer prices available for a short time after their auctions end and the smoke clears. It is too late now to find out how much this one sold for on their block this spring, so all we have is their high/low bid estimates of $3,750-4500. these estimates were RIAC's projection of the price range the gun might realize, but obviously taking into consideration that is re-blued. If the finish were actually original, I'd expect their estimates would have been significantly higher. I'm curious as to how much more the seller was asking, but if you don't wish to divulge the details, I understand (kind of). Did the seller approach you with the offer? Since the re-blue was not revealed to you, this may have constituted fraud. Do you come away with the sense that the seller was trying to "burn" you?
