[QUOTE="mtngunr, post: 4340063, member: 46104"] Outstanding! A TRUE find. Closest I ever came to that was a coworker bought a house with contents from an old man moving into assisted living, the gent was from Arizona and the house a museum of all things Arizona West, and there were a few guns...he did not want guns, wanted me to look them over and possibly buy them... All five were junk except for the nickeled 80% Colt Frontier Six Shooter with broken bolt from 1903, gun documented through generations including original receipt, it was the gent's grandfather's gun and the grandfather was an Arizona Ranger at that time. I told my coworker the gun was worth too much for me to estimate, and he asked did I want to buy it, and I said I did not have that sort of money, so he asked how much did I have, and I told him I could only spare $1000, and he handed me the gun and told me to bring the money to work when I scraped it up. I fit a new bolt of correct legs/tail for that vintage and happily shot it with BP for quite a few years until a sucker....err...collector offered me more than I could refuse, this included the documents by then bolstered with a Colt letter. This even beat my purchase of a stainless Gold Cup for $250 in 1999. [/QUOTE]
