Strange how things work out....
On Thursday, I cut a deal with my FFL to purchase a consignment Colt 380 Government, BUT ! seems his wife had sold it pending payment
just a few hours before...and had not as yet mentioned it to Ted
Ted was apologetic, as he was kinda sad to have to tell me.... But he said, maybe he could make it up for it
and shows me a Colt 2nd Gen. 1st model Dragoon ...had just come in Today ( Sat. morning )
I appraised it for him, ( Ted's not that up on such guns).
I have one, so it was not really in my wheel house, but my buddy ( who was meeting there as we do on Saturday's prior to lunch,)
was and bought it...
total time ; it was 45 minutes in the shop !
Ted then say's " hey did I show you this ".....
BANG ! me ...."UMMM NO you did not ! "
Colt 1849 Pocket ...model all matching numbers 40% remaining silver plate on TG & Guard ...
It came home with me
